making it faster. nothing sinister or accident related.

You love it really thou lol
Actually some asked if it prolonged turbo life by having a catch tank.
Does it make any difference to that?

They collect (catch) oil vapour thats emmitted from the crankcase breather that would normally be recirculated into inlet. On cars subject to violent brakeing the oil can surge up and out the breather needing a a sizable tank
MAF failures attributed to oil is more often engine oil fume, not induction related at all. See where the std breather pipe goes back into the intake, adjacent to the DV which blows when venting, and MAF is just a little way up the same pipe.
If using on track, seriously consider a baffled sump tho, as heavy braking will cause the oil to go vertical inside the block straight into the front crankcase breather and PCV sucks it all up under vacuum.... you then turn your 1.8T into a DERV and its not so happy... pink pink pink...
(1ltr of oil @ Donington on mine some years ago right into the intake,. pinked audiobly!! pulled loadsa timing, overheated on EGT's melted its then IHI exhaust housing) - Catch tank will just catch the oil falling out of the engine, so if going on track do both.

Bill do you or anyone else have pics of the inside of the Seat Sport baffled sump ??
I've been doing some investigating and may have found something that could work but would be interesting to compare before hand

ProAlloy have copied its design faithfully.. SEAT Sport have ceased making them btw.
Aside from the extra drain bung on a seat sport, and skid plates, the internals look like my seat sport leon supacopa item. (which it should as Jabba/ProAlloy copied mine in the first place )

I may have found something interesting for future reference but will post up next week once parts arrive
