First off: I'm not trolling and I know it seems like a silly question on the face of it. But I'm still fairly new around here, and while it's taken as gospel that a CCV filter will help reduce intake clogging, I haven't seen any "case studies" as it were.
I'm looking at a Mann ProVent for my new Golf TDI-PD, but before I plunk down the $$$, I'd like to know if those of you who have some kind of CCV filter or oil seperator, be it Eclipse, Old Navy, Mann, Racor, or home-grown, have found that your intakes have indeed remained clean(er).
I know, of course, that nothing definitive can come of this (it's not a proper study after all), but I would like to hear any "I installed my XYZ at 10,000mi and after X miles my intake is clean enough to eat out of" stories more experienced members might have. If you have any "I spent $150 on a filter and my %$#@! intake still filled up with crap" stories, I'd like to hear those, too. Data may not be the plural of anedote, but at least they'll give us all something to chew on.
Yours in the honest & innocent (and yes, obsessive
) search for knowledge--
