This is how mine is set up, I used the Saiko Michi cans, One 5/8 from where the pvc used to be and two from the side. I also have two 5/8 lines going to the Turbo intake as well. - not in pic
Selling the Saiko michi and going VTA, As I see it VTA will always keep the turbo intake, ic, ic-piping, and intake manifold clean and prevent hot oil and vapor from screwing with your tune under high load.
It will always vent even at idle, you shouldn't worry about sludge from oil vapor, these are not 6k mile plus oil change type of cars. Anyone who is pushing their car hard enough to worry about that changes their synthetic oil way before that has a chance to happen.

They're $1.36 each. I can replace all of them every week if necessary. I ordered 10 right away. If I don't notice any benefits, I can go back to where it is now in a matter of minutes. The current setup has worked on at least 100 WOT pulls making over 800hp.

Evap was gone a long time ago. The check valves keep boost from the intake manifold from pressurizing the crankcase. The check valve between the 2 cans forces any fresh air pulled in, to go through the crankcase rather than bypassing it. My boost pressure is typically between 40-50psi so I felt like 2 check valves between the intake manifold and crankcase wouldn't hurt.

My car only runs E85 which I believe creates less vapors. All the evap stuff was removed before I bought the car. I'm not sure how it is vented. (I really should look) The only time I smell anything is after a hard pull, and I shut it back down. While sitting, the crankcase gas smells start seeping out of my air filter. It's kind of a mixture between burning ethanol (sweet) and burning oil. The liquid in my catch can has a similar smell to it.

This is what I have so far:
Just one oil separator with the stock check valve and another check valve on the intake side so that the oil separator does not get presurized. I just purchased a -10 an press in fitting that will go where the stock check valve is and another moroso oil separator to go on the other breather port. (Already -10 AN) I am going to test this setup first before doing the press in fitting.

The good thing about Mg is that is light and when dry you can blow it out with air easy, hopefully I got all the shaving off, if not, only time will tell. I am 99% sure I got everything out, not worried at all.
