Yes you absolutely have to, without it you will pressurize your crankcase as soon as you go into boost and this would be very bad as they also act as a checkvalve. What makes this work so well is the bronze micro filters. You will catch everything with them, it's amazing how much oil sneak past the stock baffles they are inside the valve covers. The stock baffles just suck.

You also apply much more crankcase vacuum, the stock check valve limits it to just -1 psi, with this system you can go to about -10psi. You will notice an improvement in throttle response and it will burn less oil
