You need some 90deg. elbows and reduction from the Provent's 25mm spouts to these 19mm hoses, also some ways to connect to the PCV on the engine and to intake duct.
I will start tomorrow to put together the complete kit and post here.

Miro is already all over it, but a simple straight piece of alloy bolted to the battery tray extends back perfectly for that spot pictured, it's where I put mine at first.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

OK, I had to work today longer than expected and wife is going to work tonight, taking the Tig, so I couldn't start with the bracket, but I wouldn't bolt the bracket to the plastic battery tray.
The location behind the battery is fine and no holes will have to be made anywhere in the firewall or the engine bay. I should have bracket done by Friday and depends when the hoses and elbows arrive, I should be installing the Provent on the weekend.
I took measurements (bracket and connecting hoses) and will order the elbows and some suitable hoses, is here anybody who wants the bracket and connecting hoses for installing the Provent into the TDI Tiguan? Except HaywireTig. So, I can order them to save time.Performance Tunes from $850Wrecking RS OCTAVIA 2 LinkComment

Did you get a bracket done up Transporter?Comment
-
No, not yet. I'm waiting for the elbows to arrive. The bracket was measured and I have the material for it, so not rushing it.
I posted asking, who was interested inb the bracket and nobody responded, so I have a plenty of time to fit it. Do you want me to make an extra bracket and hoses measured to fit for you?Performance Tunes from $850Wrecking RS OCTAVIA 2 LinkComment

Thanks again for getting that done, Transporter. No rush on my side. Tig's booked in for service on 14th Sep... might only install the ProVent right after then.

The prototype bracket was made today and will be fitted in day or two on my Tig. As for the connnecting hoses to Provent, I will try to re-use the factory fittinggs on the egine side to preserve the factory look and will use the silicon hose at the Provent end.Performance Tunes from $850Wrecking RS OCTAVIA 2 LinkComment

Yes, I will take a lot of pictures of the final installation, which is not that far away, but....
the bracket is done, if someone is in hurry (it's $45 +postage). I’m happy with the location (not on the firewall) and the fitment. I’ve tried to keep the cost down as much as I could, but at the same time I wanted to make it as easy to install as possible. It took me over 4 hours to figure out the best place and how to attach it there. I made a jig in the process, so I can make those brackets reasonably fast (even for a small batch it was worth it, since they will be look alike). The bracket fits the Tiguan TDI Auto, it should fit manual Tigs as well, and I will check if it could be used in the 2012 Tiguan with the DSG.
The connecting hoses are a bit more cash demanding, if you want the factory look and reliability of the setup. There are 2 options; you can modify your original hose from the PCV (you can’t easily reuse it afterwards), or I can supply you the 2 hoses that will just snug fit in the place. I will use the 2 ends from the original PCV hose and connect them to the right length of the hoses to fit to the Provent200. I can supply the bracket or the hoses with the bracket. The bracket is ready to post, the hoses not. The cost of the original PCV hose from VW spare parts is between $55 and $60, which is quite expensive, but most likely only the solution, if you want to keep your top engine cover in place and unmodified. So, I’m working on the best solution, but for now, I will buy the PCV hose from VW and modify it to fit (will keep the original in my toolbox, just in case). Obviously the cost of the 2 hoses ready to fit will be in the excess of the $100, but again I will try to keep the cost down.Last edited by Transporter; 02-09-2012, 06:26 PM.Performance Tunes from $850Wrecking RS OCTAVIA 2 LinkComment
