Default Who here uses an oil catch?

I realize most people use an oil catch on their boosted vehicles but i love all the rice boys with cars that have 30k on the motor and are running n/a, little do they realize but it is detrimental to their engines health.

Oil catchcans hurt nothing, and increase the longevity of anything that has blowby. That includes NA builds, some of those guys actually need them.

Enginge life was doubled when they started using PCV systems instead of downdraft tubes.

PCV is for emissions. Go look up why it was created and put into use.

IMO catch cans are teh ghey. I have two vent hoses off my valve cover that dump on the ground.
