I would get a catch can from Discount or Autozone. I've seen them for like $12 or so.

It keeps oil out of the intake system. When your crankcase pressure is vented it gets recirculated back into the intake hose in front of the turbo then it makes its way into the IC, IC pipes, intake manifold, and then to the combustion chambers. Oil in the combustion chamber will decrease the octane of your fuel and can cause detonation (just like running 87 in your car)
