USP Presents Billet Spulen Spherical Catch Can Kits for The Mk7 GTI and Golf 1.8T

With the introduction of direct injection engines, intake valve carbon buildup has become a common occurrence especially on the 2.0T engines. Carbon buildup on the intake valves is largely attributed to oil vapors being recirculated back into the intake system. While the 2.0T does feature a factory oil separator, it is prone to failure and does a poor job of separating oil from air that is recirculated into the engine’s intake. In order to reduce intake valve carbon build up and properly separate oil vapors from recirculated air, a catch can system is needed.

Spulen is pleased to present the most complete catch can for your MK7 GTI and Golf 1.8T. The Spulen Billet Catch Can is a true piece of art. Constructed from a solid block of billet aluminum each catch can is carefully machined to precise tolerances. The interior of the catch can features a dual chamber design and baffle plate to provide superior separation of air and oil vapors. Dual built-in, -10an male fittings allow for maximum air flow. A conveniently located dipstick allows you to easily check the level inside of the catch can. The bottom of the catch can features a built in mounting bracket. An easy open petcock fitting located on the bottom of the catch can allows you to easily empty the contents of the can. A removable low profile bolt is located out of sight and allows for easy disassembly for thorough cleaning.

Perhaps the best features of the Spulen Catch Can Kit are found in the included CNC adapter plate. The billet aluminum adapter plate was carefully designed to directly replace the factory plastic PCV valve located on the cylinder head. The adapter plate fastens to the cylinder head using the included stainless steel bolts which feature tapered heads for a flush installation. An integrated baffle insures oil vapors are drawn into the catch can and engine oil is not. In a stroke of brilliance Spulen’s Engineers were able to incorporate a dual-port boost tap into the adapter. One port on the boost tap is used to provide vacuum to the factory evap purge valve while the second port is user configurable with the included hose barbs. One barb features a small opening and is perfect for connecting a boost gauge while the other barb features a larger opening for use with a diverter valve, water methanol kit, or other accessories. A removable plug is also included if you do not need to use the second port.

Finishing off the Spulen Catch Can Kit are dual -10an braided hoses with aluminum fittings. The first line connects the CNC adapter plate to the catch can while the second line connects the catch can to the inlet on the turbocharger. A special adapter fitting is included and allows the -10an hose to seamlessly connect to the port on the inlet of the turbocharger, eliminating the plastic hose used from the factory.

Understanding that keeping a factory appearance is a must, the Spulen Catch Can Kit is completely compatible with the factory engine cover. No modifications or trimming is required to maintain the factory engine cover.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...
