Default "Water" in the catch can

I've got a d16a6 stock engine that I'm tuning.

I have a hose from the back of the valve cover, teed with a hose from the intake where the PCV was, into a McKinney racing catch can. The other side of the can goes to the turbo's air intake.

When I opened up the catch can, it looked like there was water in it -- didn't look like antifreeze, but it must be right?

The water must have come from either the valve cover or the intake.

Nuked head gasket? Any easy way to diagnose wtf is going on? It doesn't look like there is oil in the radiator overflow....

Thoughts appreciated.

It`s normal, just condensation from the engine.

Great. I was hoping that was the answer, but didn't want to sound like an ***.

Appreciate the quick response!
