Who cares where the vapors and oil that a catch can catches sit? As long as I don't have them in my oil, crank case or intake, I'm happy. So what if you have to drain it out once in a while? If you're running a custom setup like a SR swap for example and you don't want to have to work on it then I suggest you go buy a Honda accord. I hear they have great warranties.
Toilet bowl is a perfect description for a catch can. It catches all the shit you don't want in your motor haha.

Ok, now you're just plain reaching here. Arguing that a PCV system doesn't function better or the same with a catch can or that it isn't proper when you add a catch can is just ridiculous. A catch can is an added layer of protection.
Why not tell people to not upgrade their exhaust after adding a bigger turbo? Sure a bigger, more efficient exhaust isn't required but it will improve the over all performance of the engine after the larger turbo is added. Same with the PCV, we are adding a part that isn't required but recommended to improve the overall functionality and improving protection to an expensive motor.
Bottom line is a properly set up PCV system with a catch can IS an upgrade to your engine. There is no arguing that. I've listed the reasons in my earlier post.
If I can answer any more questions then please let me know.
