for anyone that has crankcase pressure issues
Currently the -10AN hose coming off the side of my VC is just VTA right now with no catch can. Should I put a can between it and run the other port on the can to the intake?
I emailed Saikou Michi so we'll see what they recommend. Then I can go from there on how to setup the rear VC port.

I'm kinda surprised that you're getting a lot of garbage coming out the breather vent. Even after my drop-in engine build and before I opened up the breather and PCV vents, I never got hardly anything coming out the breather. The catch-can for it was always dry.
But to answer your question, a catch can would be a good addition.

The line off the driver side of the VC should go to a catch can, and then to the intake pipe. With all 10an or 5/8 line and fittings.

Its all coming out of my bov. Thats the only way I knew besides taking of the intake pipe.
Im on SD so do I need a closed can or would a VTA be ok?
Routing that line to the intake is a step in the right direction. The crank case will get 2-4in of vacuum at WOT from the intake pipe. If that doesn't solve your leakage issue, you'll then want to look at the PCV side.
I modified my PCV system to be all 10an with a plumbing check valve. It flowed too much (obviously lol, not sure what I was thinking). I replaced one of the 10an hose sections with 6an and my idle is now controllable. The driver side is all 10an through a catch can to the the intake pipe.
My red was doing what yours is doing before I upgraded the crankcase vents. It stopped leaking on its own once I got crankcase pressure under control. Yours should do the same.

Any other you recommend? I see JMfab has one offered with an option for -10 bungs.

I assume a VTA can is OK?

I am new to Evo's and turbo's (NOOB)
I am deciding between a Automatic with paddle shifters or a Standard. Which one will be fastest if they have the same everything? Which one will get to the finish line first?
Do some searching as well. Mods please move.
I used radium cans with 10an fittings. VTA is not ok. The driver side outlet needs to be routed to the turbo inlet pipe so that the vacuum in the intake pipe is pulling air/pressure out of the crank case. Just like stock, but with bigger hose/fittings for more flow.

So I think I have my breather side squared away.
I already have the VC tapped and a -10AN fitting on it.
I ordered a SM catch can that has 2 -10AN ports on it. Ill run the VC into the in port and the out port will go to a -10AN fitting tapped into my intake. Hopefully this will help the blowby and oil being pushed. At the same time I will be upgrading my oil drain to a -8AN hose.
If not, next step will be to install the -10AN fitting into the rear pcv port and try this:

Is the -10AN necessary for the rear port? I have seen most people just use the factory hose size and put a can in between the pcv valve and the IM. Anyone know what size the pcv and IM factory hose are? If the size is sufficient, I might just go that route instead of having a -10AN port on the pcv side and then a smaller non-AN hose on the other side. Unless you are somehow running the pcv valve inline with a -10AN hose?
Also if you are running the pcv like the post I linked, how did you setup the pcv valve the feed into the IM? If I recall only one side has a hose fitting.
Let me know what you guys think.

Only the PCV valve flow that Tee's off the -10 AN line will go into the IM. The -10 AN needs to VTA or go into the intake pipe.
