I have a catch can fitted to my car and its only a 1 minute job to drain it.  I drain it about once a month and thats doing just under 2000 miles. I used to have the PCV fix but still got oil in my intake as it vents via the rear port and back into the intake pipes.  The Catch can stops that from happening and is the much safer bet after seeing what comes out of the can, its not pretty!

I can't help thinking that if a 'revamp' kit did the job, then why do folks use a catchtank system? I use a Forge system - Expensive but I much prefer it to the BSH I had and it's easy-peasy to empty.

Prefer the finish quality to the Forge kit.  BSH prices offered a quick fix.  Maybe in the future will upgrade (upgrade in respect of bay styling & quality of fitment) to the forge kit

I have gone for the fix as a temporary measure while I decide on BSH or Forge catch tank.

At least its better than putting the oil in the intake.

Does that mean you plug  off where the rear PVC connects into the turbo inlet pipe near the dv?

No, having the check valve will not make any functional difference when using the revamp kit.

The only time you will know that the check valve is there is by the soft put-put sound it makes when idling.  
If you want you can remove the check valve (assuming your car actually came with it, my 06 plate gti didn't) but it's fiddy as you are advised to remove the hose that houses the check valve. This link shows this hose, http://oooo-a3.blogspot.com/2008/03/pcv-replacement-and-eurojet-valve.html .
Once you remove the hose just use a screwdriver to dislodge the valve and it will fall out. The reason you should remove the hose is to prevent the valve mechanism from falling into the turbo.

fwiw I have temporarily run this kit on my car in the past and encountered zero issues.

I don't think my 2004 will have a rear check valve. I just think the rear breather splits oil into the turbo intake pipe and sprays oil particles up towards the maf, causing issues with the maf operation!?
