Why exactly is a catch can needed?
Piston rings do not seal 100%. As a result, pressurised gases from the combustion process leak into the crankcase. This is known as "blow by" and a by product of the modern internal combustion engine. Pressurising the crankcase can lead to blown out crank seals, oil leaks, poor engine performance, etc. So these crankcase gasses are vented through the crank case ventilation (PCV) system which recycles the gases back into the intake air stream to be burned.
When the recycled PCV air combines with the fuel mixture, the effective octane rating of the combined fuel is lowered. The vented/recycled gases contain oil vapour, water vapour and unburnt fuel, creating a nasty mix of oily sludge build up on the inside of the manifold and on the intake valves This sludge can clog sensors, restrict air flow and thus seriously affect performance.
