I was worried that the single 3/8" line wouldn't be enough to vent the crankcase while in boost, but it seems to be working fine. I've never pushed out the dipstick. I may upsize the line anyways and plumb it from the oil filler cap to the turbo inlet.
im gonna do the same setup as this looks easy and cheap

hard to see but does the line off the turbo go to the bottom fitting of the catch can? then top fitting goes to motor?

It goes to the passenger side valve cover. Just like stock.

All I did was remove the oil fill cap, add a baffled filter in place, no more oil.
