Feel like I paid just a hair over $200 so where is the other $85 or so coming into play here?

Understanding the MK7 PCV function, retrofitting the MK8 PCV, and why catch cans are bullshit(IMO)

Urotuning email showing the parts as a kit already..
Yep. I figured it would be a matter of time. They at least show part numbers so anybody with self motivation will search those and see they're getting bent over.
Their OEM parts catalog guy at least reached out to me asking about referencing my video(s) which I said is fine, just include a link to the website to go with it.
Yep. I'll be testing the effects of inline cans very soon. And added hose.
Holy crap - https://www.urotuning.com/products/...en3-mk7s-evopcv4mk7-kt?variant=47702976004289
EDIT: I encourage all to purchase separately, unless you enjoy getting ripped off
Yeah, see above. I have zero desire to re to VW enthusiasts because I just don't want to be a part of the race to the bottom.
I just want people to understand THE AFTERMARKET MAKES SHIT PARTS AND DOES NO REAL R&D.
It took some dumbass former-mechanic with no degree to connect the dots. In 6 months. Platform has been out almost 10 years.
Yep that's about what I paid.
To Urotuning's credit: they at least reached out to me before referencing my work. This has been up for a little while now, and WAS originally listed at $400, but the price is at least more reasonable now.

I'll eventually finish an all-in-one document like I had originally made covering ALL testing done, recommendations, etc... But that shit takes time. A re-do of the original video is probably also in order. Maybe.
I got some microphones so the audio quality is less shitty for this last one. Is it noticeably better to you guys? I think volume levels were a bit off in a couple parts, but otherwise sounded better.
A couple vendors did the same with the Macan brakes setup.
They should give @DerHase a kicker for his research. When I do need a PCV replacement I might as well go for the upgrade and the kit really takes the guesswork out of it.
Nevermind with these numbers.

Watched while pooping on United flight back from 
. Very nice (Borat voice).

Can someone please ELI5? I'm sorry I've watched the videos but I'm not an very technical person. I currently have the IE open CAI and the IE Turbo inlet pipe. Does this data suggest the TIP is putting additional stress on my crankcase? If so what are the potential risks? Would switching back to the stock TIP be beneficial?
Can someone give this to me layman's terms?

If you're not tracking or autocrossing the car, and you're not experiencing any issues (oil consumption, smoking, oil leaks) there's likely no need to worry.
Based on very limited data, if your TIP is smooth all the way through it's probably not so bad. If it has a giant lip after the PCV connection as it enters the compressor housing, it's probably seeing a bit more positive crankcase pressure at times.
But again, people have been bolting on this garbage blindly for nearly 10 years without widespread problems on the street. It's track use and autocross that has been more frequently problematic.

Thanks to @scrllock i got a genuine APR TIP which is indeed different than the Epman, will be interesting to see if it's appreciably different as far as the PCV is concerned.

STOP BULLYING MEYou know we're going to be hijacking your SAI connector to log it now right?

Not installed yet...just mocked up. Will seal with tape is the plan. Also have high temp thread seal goop.
Edit. Will use the sealer vs. tape to be different

I do track the car (with you before) but I don't experience smoking or or excessive oil consumption.
