I would prefer to stick with one can if possible, I will run 2 if that is the best way tho.
I am starting to think I should just not change anything haha, every person I ask seems to have a different way to run a catch can. This is the latest rendering, seems to make a little more sense. What do you guys think?

why use the intake....both valve covers to the can and one way valve to the inlet of supercharger.... I run that with no can, I use mopar breather elements in each valve cover to separate the oil out

Intake is the greatest source of vac and most constant. That's why I like to use it.

The above pic... Do u still need a check valve in the open filter hose. That would never push air into the can right? Also wouldn't the intake vac suck from the open element instead of the crank case?

The check valve in the breather line would be setup so it would allow pressure to vent to the atmosphere under boost. Other wise the check valve would be closed not allowing any air in from that line.

Eureka!!!!

When normal driving, the vac from the intake will pull the air from the valve cover and suck the open line's check valve closed. letting the motor use the intake Vac for anything outside of boost.

Once boost comes, it closes the 1st check valve and the open element valve is still open which is allowing the can/valve cover to openly breath. If you left the check valves how your picture is and put the line to the blower inlet, I would hope my ~18 inches of vac from the intake at idle and ~10ish while cruising would be enough to suck the check valve closed and continue to use the intake vac. And this way under boost it would allow a the vac from the blower/turbo to work under boost. Any vac is better than none, right?

If you connect to the inlet of the supercharger you always have vacuum...what you are trying to make.... is what people do when they mount a vacuum pump to both valve covers to take the polluted pcv air out of the motor .....in the direction for the procharger when I bought it was to throw the pcv valve away and install a pipe from both valve covers to a tee on the intake side of the supercharger...this is what I did

Looks good. Simple and clean!

Any info on parts and building one of these?

Or do you plan on building these?

mine was -12 line with 2 mopar breather elements tee'd into the inlet of the supercharger...it helped the motor vacuum and also eliminated contamination in the oil

No it was just something I made up quick when I was bored, Its not even on the truck yet I still am not running a catch can because I still have yet to decide how I wanna run it. Now that its nice out again and I am driving the truck more I better get it figured out.
