The TSI doesnt produce nearly the amount of vapors that the FSI.
You dont NEED one, but I would recommend it. I love knowing my engine is clean from oil vapors!! Just make sure you clean it out every now and then.
Also, get a recirc can. Vent to Atmosphere is too smelly.

I just did the final test fitment of our TSI kit yesterday, so we're making one last round of changes and then putting it into production.
It will be the ONLY kit on the market for the TSI engine that completely bypasses the stock PCV assembly, and incorporates the tank. The kit will require complete removal of the noise pipe to make room for the tank, but most of you are doing that anyway, though we will offer a plug option.
While the TSI motors do have less of a issue with blow-by compared to the FSI motors, it is still present, and anything that you can do to remove the blow-by vapors will help to limit the carbon buildup on your intake valves, and just in general, keep the system clean.
(production kit will have all black hoses)

here's a question for you.......why doesn't the manufacturer put a catch can in there in the first place?
Because Mary Sue, and John Doe don't want to understand what a catch can is or bother to drain one.
Looks very nice. Will the engine cover still fit on? Not that big of a deal either way but looks better on.

Blame it all on direct injection and fuel efficiency. Someone from my weekly GTG who always preached catchcan wrote about it.

It may require a small relief hole be cut into it for the hose to pass through depending on where the hose is routed, but yes, it should fit. The custom plate on the top of the motor even has a special post to support the cover since the stock PCV assembly is what supports the front right corner of the cover.

BSH has some pretty good choices, besides Forge

The MK6 TWINtake was also just finished on Monday actually, as we had to verify fitment of the side inlet scoop behind the headlight. It too is now ready for production. :thumbup:
Ths BSH kit is the only current catch tank option available for the TSI engines, but it still keeps the stock PCV system in place, only redirecting the flow of gases from it. Our kit bypasses the stock system entirely with a custom plate that I designed.
