Default catch can for Radix

Ok, in going over my notes from my Radix install of recent, I have there new questions. Since the newer year engines don't have a pcv system with a check valve, in all reality shouldn't you actually have 2 catch cans? I noticed a fair amount (just enough to wipeoff with a rag) of oil in the intake ports. I bought an AMW catch can, and it's a nice unit, but it seems you would really need 2. One to catch the oil going into the intake tube, and the other to get any oil going to the manifold on the driver's side rear from the valve cover. It looks like a one way check valve should go in the one on the back that connects directly to the manifold to keep boost from entering the crankcase. Any thoughts on this? Where could I get a one way check valve?

IK just installed a AMW can as the included directions specified. The can went on about 400 miles ago and already has some oil/water in it but not enough to drain out of the petcock. My engine only has about 4,350 miles on it. I don't know if it catches all of it or not but it does catch some and it's clear that it's never too early to install one.

Where did you put it? In line in the rear hose going into the manifold, or ob the front going into the intake tube.
