Looking to install a catch can in my MK6 Golf GTI, any recommendations? Also should I get rid of the PCV valve and replace with a plate?

Yes you should get a catch can and you should get one that uses the stock PCV. The 'Africa plate' that replaces the PCV will cause you problems.

I've got the ECS can and it fits just fine.

which would you suggest. I looked at the ECS but it doesn't look like it will fit.

The ECS one will fit. BFI makes a good one. Honestly I couldn't justify the price of the premade kits so I just built my own for like $50 in parts. They are very simple if you understand the PCV system.

Its worth noting that your car wont explode if you don't get a catch can, you will just collect a little more carbon on your valves.

I run can-less like a animal. I’ll get one someday.
