Question oil catch can?

I have a 2.2L LAP and im looking to turbo it. Im trying to figure out everything I need aside.from the turbo kit and I thought about a catch can and was wondering if these are normal for aftermarket turbos on LAPs. Let me know what you guys think and recommend

Lots of people are happy with their husky home depot catch can, me though I am not mine sucks it used to clog when there was almost any oil. instead I bought one that had an inlet and an outlet with a filter on top, seems like this is what a lot of people are doing including all the 2.2s gone s/c or turbo.

there is a how-to in the how-to section. and I think the reason I may have had problems with mine is because the "catch can" or the husky one or whatever needs to be oriented in a specific direction for filter flow purposes and I may have not had that done right.

Just picked up my husky oil catch can.
In case you were wondering what it looks like here are some pictures



the "catch can" its actually an air compressor filter i picked up at Home Depot



These are the accessories I bought too.
