If they needed it, it would have come from the factory.

This is the benefit.

However I see much less oil consumption than my S2000 had (1 quart every 1,000-3,000 miles was my average consumption, depending on driving conditions). The Consumption was high enough the manual even said something along the lines of "Do not be alarmed of the oil consumption, adding a quart between oil changes is completely normal".

I am boosted w/o a catch can. I will probably build one at some point just to keep my intercooler clean as an intercooler works as a wonderful device to catch oil... lol
