   Went to the scrap yard the other day and happened to see a vts engine in a saxo.
   I look at the engine and noticed that it had a rubber grommet in place of the hole that you put the breather hose in.
   I was thinking of getting a catcher tank, Would this solve the problem of oil coming out if i found a grommet ?

   Yes. You'll also be pressurising the crankcase though, and

   Yes or run it back to the inlet piping as standard. Dont block it off, thats going to cause problems

   I have heard you can make catchers? How do you do it or is it cheaper to buy a normal one ?

   As said a catch tank is the way to go.

    I don't how you attach it to a gti engine though. They have a piece that comes in and out how would it work ?
    
    Anyone got any pics of 16v one?
