oil catch can!!! is it needed after a few add-ons?

I am fixing to add a 2% crank pulley, 16% M7 Reduction pulley, and a AGS intake with larger throttle body. After installing these items, am I going to need a oil catch can? What else is needed if any? i am pretty new at this...Thanks for your time... Jason, Aka Spikedacrzyman

ScuderiaMINI,

So oil thru-out your intake path is ok with you?

I had a catch can installed on my car about a month before I installed my GRS Intercooler and it filled up quickly. My stock intercooler went from a light brown inside to almost clean. I don't have any #s or ways to say it helped but that can filling made me feel good. Maybe while you are ordering those parts from M7 pick up one of his catch cans.
