Excess blow by even after catch can
My car is a built 2.3 and it runs good and never had white smoke..i had a problem with the oil dipstick popping regularly so i bought a catch can and connected it to the front and rear vents from the valve cover and connected the can to the intake before the turbo and blocked the line out from the intake manifold but i still have blow by and my dipstick pops and oil goes all over..also my catch can collects nothing!

You guys are shooting way outside the box here. He tested it, it's fine he is just having blow by issues. I have been there, dipstick jumped out the tube so fast it left a mark on the bottom side of the hood and oil went everywhere.
A sufficient catch can system will stop that, even with it he still may have to make a retainer spring for the dipstick in high psi situations.
Am I the only one that noticed that his catch can has a lid on it and not a filter, there isn't a vac source going to the intake that I can see in the pic either. Come on attention to detail people.

Also, a filter would negate the effect of any vacuum source. The can needs to be sealed to be under vacuum [Found another detail]

True my can has a line connected to the filter and acts as a vacuum ... My fittings are the stock ones...will adding a vent in the valve cover and going to bigger fittings solve the problem??my car is running gt37 turbo and is seeing high boost

Details right?
No duh the can needs to be sealed for vacuum, as I mentioned in my post that there are no visible lines going to the intake (pipe before turbo) that it wouldn't work. It would need to be vented to atmosphere which it isn't. All you did was look silly

Migsubishi, I get that you're looking at my post count and thinking "freakin' newb", but trust me... I'm no newb. Just trying to offer advice, not trying to tread on anyone's "turf".

No. Don't add a vent. Start by just adding a 3rd line, like Migsubishi's picture.
