I completely agree with the above.
The turbo is no longer consuming any oil - it seems conclusive that the catch can was the cause of the problem.
The engine is running a lot smoother as well. There was a real rough spot at around 3K rpm, and that’s gone now.
Crankcase pressure, as a result of restricted airflow through the catch can (especially those that have an internal filter), can cause significant problems and shortened lifespan for turbos. Now I understand that, I’d never install one again.
