No. You only need to get a second OCC if you have a CAI or a short ram. Since you have the stock intake/airbox you don't need a second OCC and it would be a complete waste of time and money if you did. The OCC's are to keep the oil out of the wrong part of the engine, the PCV line goes straight into the intake manifold so it need an OCC for it. But the other line goes into the airbox and not into the intake tube, like it does with a CAI or short ram, so the oil that comes from it will just run down to the bottom of the airbox, it cannot get into the intake/engine.

or just get a intake that removes the line from the valve cover to the intake and put a breather filter.

That will work too. I haven't found a cap that will fit my CAI's hose fitting or I might go that route, but I've talked to a guy that had his set up that way and he had a problem with oil dripping from his filter.

The filter on a breather will get oily if used alone on the crankcase. I installed a second catch can before the breather. It hardly ever needs to be emptied, but does slowly accumulate oil. My filter is sparkling clean.

So, Seanardy, I would say, you don't need one with your stock airbox, there is a sponge in there sopping it up, and it is outside of your intake tube, but if you do an aftermarket intake, like 71rr said, you will need one - I suggest a $20 oil catch can, then a breather.

Getting an OCC is pretty much a must, especially after you see how much and how fast the oil collects in it, and then to think that it was all going into your engine and getting all over the parts that it's not supose to and also burning it[:'(].
