Probably not....
See how much blow by you have, the more you have the more you'll need it.

well im thinking of getting one cause i get oil in the trottle body and the turbo and the intercooler pipes....last time I opened the AFM and the boot attached to it, in the boot where the oil vapour hose comes from the valve cover, was oily...so I guess i need to get one....
buy yourself enough scotch-brite steel scourers that your folks used to use to scrub pots and pans clean... Pull them apart and loosely fill the catch can with that - it will 'filter' the vapour and give enough surface area for the vapour to hit and allow the oil particles to come out of suspension in the air.
As mentioned before - you only need it if you have blowby - which means bigger issues with you motor any way.
