There is no vacuum to pull the oil vapor to the catch can. I dident say to use a breather, it would make it useless as it wouldent create a vacum in which case you should just put a breather on the valve cover to begin with Theres still vacum if you plumb between the Compressor/intake so that way you dont cake up the turbz ---
