If you are running with boost do you want to run one of these? Pros and Cons?

I run one, seems to be doing its job, I have oil flowing through it. Gains are probably none, its just to keep that funk out of the engine.

Just out of curiosity, but wouldn't it be bad to have oil flowing into the intake tube to begin with? Or is this just a downside to have a turbo/sc that has to sit there and deal with the added oil pressure from the engine which could potentially cuase blow by if it's not draining right and getting backed up?

gains can be made, especially with a vacuum pump hooked up into the loop.

I think it is for this reason
OIL CATCH TANKS CATCHES THE OIL & MOISTURE IN THE BLOW-BY GAS THAT CAUSES CARBON & SLUDGE BUILD-UP IN THE INTAKE SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE. IT KEEPS THE ENGINE CLEAN EVEN UNDER THE HARDEST DRIVING CONDITIONS.

My boosted Honda has a ton of blowby, on the dyno under boost I can see the crankcase gases blowing out of the breather filter like there's a compressor attached to it. I'd not only look at a catch can, but at making more holes for gases to get out of the crankcase. I currently have two on the block for my catch can and one on the valve cover with a small breather filter on it, but I need some more. I'm thinking of making a couple more on the valve cover.

I found some gunk in my intake pipe when I swapped in the new turbo. I'll be getting one soon.

The oil vapors reduce the octane rating of your fuel.
