Default Blower catch can ideas

Looking for ideas on how to do my PCV system on my maggie 1900 truck.

Just wanted to see how others have done it, I think I'd like to stay with one catch can, so I think I would route the two valve covers together before the can.

Crap, I just left out of town for business or else I would get some pics for you real quick. Anyways, Shane just put a catch can on my setup. I know I'm turbo, but I have both valve covers plumbed into one can, so you could probably do something similar. Here's the can I ordered: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mor-85473/overview/

When I get back I'll take a few quick pics of it if you still need some for reference.

If your truck already has the blower.
Just install a single catch can on Pcv line.
Make sure it's a good can.

Are you saying disregard the passenger side?

Yeah pics would be great. I want a clean install, because as it is now I has wires and hoses ran everywhere.

Pass side I'm guessing goes to your intake tube.
Pre throttle body?
We just route it to a small breather on turbo set ups.

Why is it that pass side goes pre TB and driver side goes after the TB?

Sorry if this is a newb question

Passenger side is a fresh air source. Pass- air in, drivers is where it gets sucked out.

So that the motor will draw the crankcase fumes into the motor and burn them on the driver's side and the pass side draws fresh, clean air into the crankcase from the filtered air pre-tb.

With a turbo, the pass side will become pressurized since the whole intake system is pressurized and push boost into the motor if not rerouted to draw fresh air from another source like a NA vented catch can.

Alrighty that makes more sense. In my mind I imagined both valve covers pushing air out, which lead to some confusion.
