Hey all,
Well a LONG overdue promise to provide Provent kits to the VW community is finally happening. I'll be chasing up all those PM's of interest in the coming weeks!
I can supply Provent 200's ( far right ) at $175, which matches the best price anywhere. Certainly a lot cheaper than I paid for mine! The kit is in final prototype, and will suit the MKV and MK6 TDI's first, and then expand from there. It will simply clip onto the inlet and outlet ports in the engine bay, and I'm down to making it work with the engine cover and getting a nice bracket made up. It will be universal, and you will be able to order as much or as little of it as you want. Purosil silicon hose is included, and is available is any colour as long as it's blue, but there are options there. Pricing is still being finalised and will be offered in a drain back into the sump system I'm currently testing, or into a lower can that needs be periodically drained. Heck even a clear hose with a tap on the end will do, it's up to the customer, and all options will be available. I'm also planning to investigate the other Provents in the range.
I am concentrating on the diesel models for now, as they have the greatest need, but it'll be just as easy to fit one to a petrol model. Petrol cars can get away with a cheaper can, and the best one for the money out there at the moment in my humble opinion is the 42 draft designs one, the "Stealth" being the same internally as the much fancier, and more costly, "Ultimate". With a mechanical layered sieve, this will collect a lot of the blowby, but I've yet to quantify that. They have an exceptional 2.0 FSI solution kit, and are currently in testing of another even more comprehensive kit again. I'd suggest this can is more suited to the petrol cars with less blowby due to lesser compression, and it has no consumables, just needs to be drained from time to time.
Finally I can now formally announce that I am the Australian agent for 42 Draft Designs, and have a lot of the items outside exhausts already in stock. The catch cans are the big drawcard there, and I am working on a bracket for our Aussie cars with 42DD.
I've also got my eye on the only other half decent inexpensive catch can out there, but that's down the line somewhat, much to do already.
I've called my new baby "Carformance". Website is getting close. Stay tuned!
