does catch can protect against runaway?

trying out no catch can. hooking the PCV gas straight into the turbo intake will presumably get the compressor and manifold oily, but i dunno if passing through a baffle first would make much difference. all else equal, i like not having the can present.

more to the point, will i be risking a runaway engine by adding combustible oil to the air intake?

the stock air filter (85 CA) did pretty much exactly this except that i guess some of the oil solids stayed on the filter.
