I can say, for everyday driving, no catch can is need.
The only thing you need to do is change the oil at least every 7000 miles. The blow by does find it's way into the oil I think. I don't know if it is normal for the oil, but the viscosity gets reduced by a lot.

Thanks Cal, that is comforting to hear! I guess yours and my pistons seal better than some because I have seen next to no signs of blow by whatsoever. Granted I have not cracked the motor open like you have but I have nothing coating the inside of the charge piping, intercooler couplers and what have you. Some slight residue on the walls of the inside of the catch below the fitting openings but that's all. I do like knowing that my crankcase is being vented and that I don't have to worry about pressure leaking past the pcv and into the CC.
