I would put a catch can between the valve cover and the turbo inlets. Otherwise youll get a **** ton of oil in the turbo.

just run a breather on each valve cover and stay on top of your oil changes, but the best thing would be a mechanical vacuum pump

Not in the picture, I am also running a breather where the oil cap used to be. So is this an efficient, or not so efficient setup? I was in the thinking that, while I'll certainly need to keep an eye on the intake side of the turbos, that most of the oil, upon acceleration, will be running towards the back of the vlv covers. So there should be TOO MUCH oil getting into the turbos intake tracts???

well it gets the job done of getting rid of pressure in the crankcase, but the reason why a breather set up is worse then a belt driven vacuum pump is because a vacuum pump will get rid of most the blow by gases, much more then a breather set up would and it will help the rings seal in the motor.

but i personally do no have space for a belt driven vacuum pump, so i have to use breathers for now.
