I think you're fine if you're leasing and again, it goes back to blind tuning and being an idiot

You do Intercooler & Charge Pipes, Catch Can, Breather Valve cap and a good tune and you're fine

Lease a gt if you decide to go that route. If u get an eco you will want to modify it which is a no go for leasing. And not modding an Eco is also not an option because the car stinks stock imo.
Define "No go" please.

You don't need a catch can at all. Just be careful modding
What in the hell did you that not only made you believe this to be true but also mislead someone from doing the right thing for their vehicle?

Below are some pics I took while replacing the revised pvc from Ford. I removed the intake because it would be easier and wanted to see how my valves looked after just 10,xxx miles. If there wasn't excess oil getting into the intake causing premature buildup, Ford would not be selling and installing revised PVC's if there's wasn't an issue. A catch can is a must for the Ecoboost Mustang. Some people collect more oil in their catch can and others a little less. Driving habits and which PVC which design revision in the car, are some of the variables that influence the accumulation of oil in said catch can. This might be a highly debatable topic for other platforms but not with ours.

Are you running a catch can?

I have an early 2014 Engine with 35k miles. I've been tuned for over 15k miles and I've run a dual valve catch can almost the entire life of the car.

I've had zero issues and my car has been rock solid reliable. No oil anywhere, no smoking, no small hiccups with the car.

I currently sit at 311 hp, 401lbs to the wheels
