• I installed a mann provent on mom's 2001 golf TDI.  I installed the provent beside the oil filter using a mounting strap I fabricated by bending 5/16" ready rod, then covered with rubber hose.  To get a little more clearance for the unit in this location I shortened the upper radiator hose by about 1/4" or so.  To plumb the provent in, I siliconed in some copper transitions to the hose nipples to adapt them to 3/4" ID hose, and I ran the hose around the passenger side of the oil filter then through the fuel injection hardlines and up to the top of the head.
  
  I can take some pics if anyone's interested.

• I purchased it from Air Now Supply, a MANN filter distributor in california.
  
  Edit - just noticed they put up this new web site for VW TDI stuff (includes pro vent):
