So if I install K&N RV1550...

If I install this filter on my throttle body and put a breather filter on valve cover there will be no need for a catch can, right?

I believe it is the rv 1550, but I may be wrong. Anyone?

here's what I found

"Here's the pics of my HAI install with the RU-1550. Fits snugly and only touches the bonnet lightly (see center pic)

You can also see the clamp screw in the side view. The flange is longer on one side than the other, but snugs up okay. I think the 10' offset may help with it sitting without interference. It does sit down on the throttle body in the front."

Yes you will... well you wont NEED it but there is still a breather line that goes to the supercharger's inlet... So if you believe the mini would benefit from a catch can, there would still be a benefit to one.
