Default S/C and oil catch can

So, I cleaned my air filter today, and noticed a little blow-by residue in the car. Are these catch cans really worth a few dollars? Anyone with the s/c running them? Any issues? Does it matter if I get name-brand or ebay generic with these, as it would be mounted and hidden. I noticed weapon-r makes one, NRG, Saikou makes a expensive can, then I see these ebay "junkers". If I have to spend the money for the $80 one, I will no problem.

Just trying to get input. Would like to get some answers from people that have experience with the s/c, and not just some of the N/A "know it all" guys that dont have a clue. And BTW Ive run my s/c hard for the past 3 years, and never an issue.

Car is running with the forge 007, trd intake, trd, exhaust, trd s/c and regular pulley. Just looking to _keep_ this thing running safe like it has been for 3 years. Looks like id have to cap the pcv and run a breather as well.

Thanks in advance! If you have one on the s/c unit, can you please post a pic or 2 up! Would love to see the exact mount points utilized.

The ebay catch cans don't work, they are just empty cans and don't have the baffle or enough volume to actually catch anything. In this case spending more to get a real catch can is what you need to do. I had some blow by when running s/c, but i just left it alone, you shouldn't need a catch can, its more so for those running intercoolers and such who don't want to get oil in all of the pipes.
