Which Catch Can to do the Job I require

Hello everyone,
I need a catch can and I would rather not spend several hundred dollars on one if i don't actually need one of that price range and ability. This is will be a daily driver with no track use some highway pulls every now and again.

Setup:
Fully Built
2.0
10:1 internals
e85
S366SX turbo
set at 500-550hp

My question is, what would be an appropriate catch can for this setup while still being (if able) on the more affordable side?
TIA!

I think it depends on how much oil goes into your intercooler piping/intake hose when you do your pulls

I have similar HP and I'm using one Radium catch can. Quality is great and it was very easy to install

its just a canister, anyone can "design" those thats why there's so many types. I think on the evo, *placement* is very important. In my case I need really big ports and hoses (5/8"), relocate the vacuum hose for the brake booster in order to gain some room behind the manifold. I use multiple small catch cans (oil separators) and that automatically drain back oil to the engine, so its maintenance free and less can-space where moisture condenses (when the car is not being used). vacuum/pcv works and vents pressure. my final catch only catches water so I just drip that out. I do a lot of autocross and there are several situations of early spooling and riding the rev limiter - those are the times I can see more oily blowby. for street pulls I only catch water/e85 residue
