hes talking about the pcv oil catch can...the stock one...you can upgrade to a real catch can which you can mount on ur firewall, move battery put it in the battery trey, or put somewhere else... cars putting down over 300whp should really have an aftermarket catch can so it wont destroy your bottom end from blow by... you can find out what they are if you dont know what a catch can is OP by looking in the forced induction forum

It works same as black box in the plane. It keeps a record when your motor blows up.

yea i know what a oil catch can is....the car will be supercharged and should be making 220whp..and yea i understand but can i run it without the pcv oil seperator box for a little while maybe a week or 2 and it has the inlet where the oil comes in but where it goes back into the intake manifold is disconnected because of the supercharger
