PCV Catch Can Setup
I've done a ton of reading on this topic including the 15+ page thread on Ls1tech but still cant quite figure out what way to run my set up. I found another thread on this site with some pics/diagrams of setup ups and I think I found my set up but wanted to verify it with you guys before I start.
This is what I plan on doing. any opinions/objections?

I wouldn't run anything to in front of the turbo or supercharger without a catch can in-line. I don't get the whole clean side, dirty side thing, you'll get blowby from every location or in the case of a turbo or supercharger it'll suck the oil right out of the valve cover. The dual catch can setup seems to be the best way.

you could do it and run a check valve also with that green line you have going to the turbo, i also have been reading up on catch cans alot lately and read the same thread over on Tech.

I found the graph/diagram on a link in this thread https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...thread-496547/
I had the stock setup when I first installed the turbo but kept getting white smoke out the exhaust when getting outta boost. Some suggested venting my oil cap. So I did that and no more smoke, but according to the thread above I shouldnt vent the cap. Im lost

I didn't even realize that the line was on a valve cover, he could run a line from the catch can then have a "T'' off to the intake and the turbo with a check valve on each line after it "T's". correct me if i am wrong from here.

Did alot of reading too on this and almost read them all. Persoanlly I dont like that idea of oil getting back to my intake.
I found some Industrial setup catch cans,used by diesel guys mostly. Some are rated 2000hp that is if you can find a place to put it
