Default Do i need a catch can?

I recently just installed a turbo on my car. I made 300 hp and 220 tq on the dyno. Now i have oil in the spark plugs. I changed the valve cover gasket and seals. Still have some oil coming through. Someone said i might need a catch can for the higher oil pressure? Could this solve the problem? Thanks in advance

what car is it? my accord has "lower spark plug seals" that require you to take the rocker assembly out to get at.

i'll have to try to look it up, but just so you know, your engine's oil system doesn't get more pressurized when you make more power. Your oil psi is still the same as it was when your car was stock.
