What does the APR PCV System Upgrade with Catch Can replace?

The APR PCV System Upgrade with Catch Can replaces the spring-loaded diaphragm that regulates crankcase pressure on the EA888 Gen 4, the most common failure point of the factory system, with calibrated static orifices that do not wear out. Every factory flow path is retained.

Will the APR MK8 Golf R PCV upgrade set a check engine light?

No. APR states that the system needs no ECU changes and triggers no check engine light. It was validated with more than 1,000 miles of logged crankcase pressure data on five cars, from daily commutes to track days and autocross.

Does the APR GLI PCV upgrade fit every Jetta GLI?

No. The GLI, Tiguan and Q3 are compatible only if they were built after the factory PCV revision; earlier builds are not. The system is also not compatible with the VW Atlas. Contact us with your VIN if you are unsure about your car.

Can I keep the engine cover with the APR S3 PCV upgrade?

No. The factory engine cover cannot be used with this system. APR ignition coils fit under the top plate, but some aftermarket coils with larger heads and some hood struts that attach at the hood latch may not clear the catch can.

How long does the APR GTI PCV upgrade take to install?

APR rates it as a DIY install in about an hour, or about 30 minutes for a professional. The drain valve is reached by removing the can from its mount, and how often the PCV System Upgrade with Catch Can needs emptying depends on driving and climate.

APR PCV System Upgrade with Catch Can for EA888 Gen 4 2.0T

The APR PCV System Upgrade with Catch Can replaces the spring-loaded diaphragm that regulates crankcase pressure on the EA888 Gen 4 2.0T, the factory system’s most common failure point. Under heavy load the factory parts struggle to hold vacuum, and a tuned engine pushes more blow-by than they were sized for. Calibrated static orifices that do not wear out take over, and the crankcase stays under vacuum from idle to sustained full throttle. No ECU changes are needed, and it triggers no check engine light.

How It Works

Internal one-way valves route crankcase and EVAP gases to the intake manifold off boost and to the turbo inlet in boost. A freer path to the turbo suction jet pump pulled nearly twice the factory vacuum at full boost in APR testing on a MK8 Golf R with APR Stage 1.

Oil Separation

Vapors pass the engine baffles, then an impact surface in the APR top plate that drains oil back to the sump, then the catch can. Seals rated to 430 F and PTFE-lined -10 AN hoses suit every fuel, ethanol included.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
