You need to buy yourself a Chav'd up Saxo/Coursa/Punto/etc etc  ::) ::) ::)

WTF do you think need an oil catch tank?

Why ?? if you have excesive blow-by from a turbo .. fix the turbo.

If you don't have a turbo you don't need a catch tank.... and most Omega V6's don't have turbo's....

You do have some strange ideas.....  :(

Probably the best idea is to buy a small bowl from the £1 shop, and modify it.

Probably not understanding the breather system...? Which runs at vacuum from the plenum, which it won't with a catch tank.

 If so...Leave it as designed. Clean once a year or so.

Not sure where your getting your ideas from, but they aren't going go improve the GM design.
