Correct again the Greedy is junk,,Air will and does follow the path of least resistance, look how close the holes are.
I ran a tube down into the bottom with some holes drilled into it for ventilation porpoises and it now resides in the Bimmer....

You need to add some sort of way to make the the gas condense so that the oil stays in the catch can. This can be done by stuffing the can with some stainless steel scouring pads or medium to coarse steel wool. I added a short piece of 3/8" pipe on the inside of the catch can on the outlet side going back to the intake so that the hot gases would be forced to flow through the baffling material"
Absolutely, the Medium should be Stainless Steel or something as such .
What ever used must hold up too the rigorous effects of heat , oil, moisture and cleaning chemicals used.

A friend of mine on the West Coast is almost done running tests on a one way drainage valve. We are running some different set-up’s with varying boost levels.
Ranging from the stock 6lbs. of the F-150 H.D's,
Too where he and I are at 18lbs. here and he is hitting 21lbs.
Either the one way check valves are too strong or just the opposite.

Yep, several ways to skin this cat. Bottom line, IMO, grippy is when desigining a system to best suit your individual needs that there never be positive crank case pressure. Dbl G brought up a great point earlier about larger fittings. I agree completely... and the way I will determine the elimination of positive crank case pressure will be adapting a vacuum/pressure gauge to the dip stick tube and going through normal and spirited driving conditions to see if its working properly or if improvments are needed. I know I said this before but my night shift schedule has me all jacked up on my days off and I don't feel like doing a damn thing ... lucky for me only one more week of night shift and then I get my life back!... back to day shift!

Played with this idea on gravity fed turbo drains into the oil pan... due to inefficiant/ineffective crank case evacuation (early learning curve days) pressurizing turbo seals and blowing oil out where it shouldn't go. Please keep us posted on your progress.
