Default I was thinking bout getting a catch can for my 1.8t

the ammount of oil in my fmic isn't huge but they seem to sell for around 30-50 bux and it would seem like a good idea to install one.

Anyone have any experience with one? Any actual reasons not to get one besides for the cost? Also I know some oil in the intake is normal, but is this something that becomes a larger issue with higher boost? The reason why I'm asking is that they seem to be very common in the aftermarket/racing however there is nothing of the sort in the OEM segment, which leads me to wonder whether this is a problem that becomes more serious only with increased boost.

Default Becomes more of an issue once you start increasing the flow of the turbo

this is a big problem when you upgrade the turbo.
