Minor as it is remember your crank case ventilation and other emissions crap feeds back through your inlet, intercooler and back to be re burnt. The Atmo valves let some of these nasties out.

When you see the oil collecting in the intercooler after a hard track session ( even on a car that usually doesn't seem to use any oil on the road ) and think of what thats going to do to the octane rating in the cylinders when it swallows a gulp your grateful to have a catch can!!!
