Total BS, a catchcan adds ZERO performance gain, and is usually only used on turbocharged cars to catch excesss oil coming out of the PCV and stop oil from entering the intake and IC piping.

yup you get no power but i suggest getting one or at least making one yourself because i have one and it does fill up. you should prob make one it will cost u no more than $20 and it will be smaller than the ones you buy which is good because you dont need a big one

wouldn't it be more feasible to run a line from the turbo to the oil pan? or is that even possible

no. the oil then has already through the system. ur trapping excess oil before it gets into the throttle body and engine. also oil gets stuck in the ic piping
