Default Catch can / Valve cover breather

I have a prochager on ls2 with Catch can / Valve cover breather.
I have oil blow by.
If I remove the breather I blow my dipstick.

Does anyone have a picture explain how the catch can should be set up for a engine w/ prochager

thanks

If you're blowing out the dipstick, there's a lot of blow-by. Disconnect the catch can, cap all the vacuum inlets and run breathers on both valve covers. No PCV is not going to matter much, because there is a lot of air moving through your crank case from the blow-by

What Jon said. I had the same problem and really hated dis-connecting my catch can (so pretty) but it worked.

I can't put another breather on the drivers side Valve cover no place to put it on the LS2.

But I will remove the catch can and add the pig tail back in to see if this helps..
