Default PCV Catch Can help, turbo STS. Pics inside

I need help with a proper setup of my pcv system. I purchased a catch can and air oil seperator. I have truck valve covers so there is one port on the front of the passenger side in the front and the drivers side has a pcv style port in the rear. The two valve covers are Tee'd and running a pcv inline to one port on the catch can. the other port on the catch can is running to a air oil seperator then to the intake. The bottom port on the catch can is running to the intake pipe before the turbo all the way in the rear of the car.

If you are getting that much oil in your intake you may have internal issues. If you have it setup this way described in that post then you should be good to go.

You could also just run a breather tank

If you run it like it's posted, I wouldn't leave that breather on there.
