Default Catch cans and turbo set ups?

Are all turbo guys here running catch cans of some kind? I am getting ready for my new motor and don't know if I should go ahead and install some kind of catch can set up. Do you think it was poor tuning and/or poor gas that caused my dipstick to blow out? I know some don't run catch cans and have no issues with their dipsticks blowing out! So, any suggestions!

I run -10 lines off each valvecover into that catch can which is mounted in the back of the passenger side front wheel-well.

Stenod Racing can take all the credit for that...they fabbed up a bracket. I don't have the tooling or time to do things all super fancy, and they are local and super nice guys so I had them do that while they were doing some other stuff on the car.

Hmmm, know where I can find a moroso like that? I have checked Jegs and Summitt and they don't have one on thier sites, and I cant find one listed on any vendor pages.

why do turbo cars need to do this to the pcv system? is doing this a must?

i called HP performance and they said you should not have to do this and they never did this to their turbo cars.

This isn't the ideal setup...a vacuum pump/canister setup would be better but I'm not made of $ so for now this will have to do.

Some times you need to replace the stock pcv system with something else, it was never designed to handle 2 to 4 times the crankcase pressure of stock. I ran dual breathers in 2003-2005, and will probably do the same for 2006 when the car gets the turbo setup on there.
