take off one of your boost pipes and put your finger in ther and feel all the oil and gringe now imagion whats sitting in your intercooler how many runners are blocked

a oil catch tank eliminates the oil vapour from the top of the engin being fed back to the intake pipe behing the airflow meter

it a very good thing to have turst me my boost pipes are still shiny inside after a year

to what and how is the catch tank connected? And do you need to empty/clean the catch tank now and then?

So it does need to be empty'd? Can you reuse the oil? Pour it back into te motor or is it waste?
