A catch can is always a good idea with boost.

I would use Mighty Mouse they have three different types to choose from. I run their draft can easy and clean install, adapter on the oil fill cap to can and then a line to the supercharger. Makes for a super easy and clean install.

+1 for Elite. We've literally sold and installed hundreds of them and their quality is second to none.

Kind regards,

If you end up going with a vented catch can, I wouldn't expect that oil smell to go away...

We carry Moroso catch cans that are direct fit for the camaro but with the Eforce you may have to fabricate a bracket out of the 2 that come with it.
