Default Do I need a catch can?

I'm turbo charging my 93 H23 and I'm planning on boosting no more than 8lbs. Do I really need a catch can? If so does anyone know of any kits that are available?

Hey thanks. Why do we even need this forum? Just google it. So my question is what tells you that you should install a catch can? Should you just wait and see if your getting oil blowing out of your valve cover?

to be better safe then sorry. Also depends on how much power you wanna push. 240...i wouldnt worry, 450. i would deff put one on.

There are ALOT of smart people on this thread to where something is really ****ed up, that they are nice enough to help. CEL codes, part compatibility, electrical, ect ect... stuff like that.

Its always a good idea to have a catch can with a FI car, regardless of how much boost. If you have the money, and you've invested in putting a turbo kit on, why not?
