Default Is a catch can needed

Wanted some opinions on if I could run my car for awhile without a catch can. Just sold my S/C and I'll be putting the car back together with a custom turbo kit this weekend. Between more parts and a tune I'll be tapped out on money but would like to make it to an event at the end of this month. Could I get away without having a catch can for a few months? This car isn't my daily.

In the interim, I suggest running an open valve cover.

I would just vent to atmosphere. If a anything put hoses on the Ports and dump them to theground so you dont make a mess of the bay

Hahaha, I may just wait to do everything right. I'm not going to pollute the enviroment. Feel like that's a cheap/trashy way to go about it.

Technically, you will be polluting the environment with a catch can; unless you plan on running a completely enclosed system.

You're running a cat on your turbo setup?



These guys are correct, run the cover open until you can get a can setup
