PCV systems cause more harm than good in my opinion.
I'm sure the EPA had something to do with it, lol.

Creating vacuum in the crankcase will help the rings seal better and prevent the rear main seal from blowing out in a boosted application.

Vacuum pump......

They add more power than they rob and will keep your intake free of the oily junk.

Regarding moisture in the oil, just make sure you're getting the oil hot enough on a fairly regular basis. I live in an extremely humid part of the country and have never had a moisture problem.

So in this setup I would just cap off the passenger side valve cover? Also I already have a catch can but it doesn't have check valves so can I just use the inline style ones?

Yes, as long as there is a breather on the oil fill, or put a small filter on the fresh air tube coming out of the valve cover, or both lol. Inline check valves are fine.

So how many have had zero issues with just running a hose from each valve cover to a catch can? I have a vented, baffled catch can if that makes a difference.

A vacuum pump is very different then trying to create a vacuum with a pcv....and yes a vacuum pump is where it's at if you have the application for it.

No can here, only venting pass side cover, zero issues.. If I was trying to scavenge it i would prob go old style and make it plumb into the exhasut.

Alright well thanks for the ideas guys I think I have got it all sorted out now. Does the actual size of the can itself matter? other than how often you have to drain it of coarse.

Technically it should hold the amount of oil in the motor......but we know that isn't realistic on a street car/truck.

I've got 2 cans on mine, 1qt each.
