HG Motorsport Catch Can Kit For VW Golf GTI / Clubsport MK8
HF-Series is the first point of contact when it comes to fresh air supply in vehicles. With this brand, HG-Motorsport has combined professional research and production of high quality intake systems, intercoolers and air guidance systems. In addition to 3D scanning of the vehicle periphery for perfect fitting accuracy, this also includes long series of tests to combine the optimum components for each individual model. The result is racing products with road approval.
The direct injection system of the TSI models means that the cylinder heads and valves are no longer flushed with fuel. This means that the fuel normally used for cleaning is missing because it is injected directly into the combustion chamber. As a result, massive dirt builds up through the exhaust gas recirculation in conjunction with the oil and water steams from the crankcase ventilation. These are deposited on the chambers of the cylinder heads and on the valves. Due to these depositions (corking), the material surface becomes rough, the air guide cross-sections narrow and neither optimal air turbulence nor optimal cylinder filling is achieved, nor optimal cylinder filling. If the corking is still slight, the performance will initially be noticeably reduced and a rough idle will occur.
In the advanced stage, even the valve train is disturbed by these corkings in such a way that the valves partially no longer close and as a result there is no compression on the affected cylinders, which leads to misfiring. In the worst case, this can cause engine damage.
The HG Catch Tank System does not lead the oil steams produced during engine operation to the intake tract. The oil vapour is led into the Catch Tank and collected there. As a result, valve corking is reduced. This reduction leads to better engine running and ultimately to the best possible restoration of the original performance. In addition, the installation of the system makes combustion cleaner.
