Default Best way to vent crankcase

Hey all! I am deleting my PCV on my turbo setup and I decided I just want to vent the crankcase into a vented catch can. Would running a hose off the stock valve cover fittings and off the valley cover (I have a LS3 valley cover) to the vented catch can be enough to adequately evacuate pressures in the crankcase or will those fittings be to small?

Pretty similar to how mine used to be set up with the D1sc. I ran a line off each valve cover (I think it was small 3/8" line) to a 1 quart catch can. For the most part it worked, but it was a little inadequate at times especially when I turned the boost up.

I had to do the dipstick zip tie mod to keep the dip stick in it.

ive got a line going.from my.turbo air filter tube to the passenger valve cover. On the driver side, a line goes from the valve cover to a MM catch can (which vents under boost) and is hooked up to the vacuum port on the intake. I do have the pcv valve drilled out.

Completely stock functioning pcv system which also pulls vacuum on the crankcase under boost.

bungs on each valve cover to each catch can for big power setups

laterly -6 line off each valve cover using the existing ports, the valley cover all tie into a 3 way air manifold then into a single catch can

Cool! Think thats the way I want to go. Thinking about drilling out the PCV orifice on the driver side too as well.
