like everyone said, for boost, yes its a good idea...why dont you see one on my car? cause Im lazy and cant seem to find time or the engine bay space to put it without deleting things I dont want to remove...such as ABS..although I do have a catch can sitting in my garage.

"If this is your parts list for a catch can"
One old soup can
Three lengths of 1/2" diameter copper pipe
Two packets of "Scotch Brite" scouring pads or sponges
One nut & bolt
One piece of aluminium or stainless steel plate
Two metres of 5/8" diameter rubber heater hose
Five hose clamps
Tubes of fast-setting epoxy and hardener

I'll post a pic of mine soon. I'm using the catch can to delete the two hoses from the valve cover that go in the inlets of the two turbos on my 1jz. This way the turbos don't suck in oil. Since I'm rhd, I bolted it up to my brake master cylinder. I'm running a T with a breather filter on one of the hoses. It's an eBay catch can. I did this about 8 months ago and I never had a problem.
