Catch Can Setup OK guys, coming to the end of my lq4 turbo swap into my 71' Trans Am. Ive been searching and found many different ways to do a catch can setup, I think I may have it figured out, just want to be clear.
Do I vent the two valve cover to a catch can with a breather, similar to one like this:

Then the port on my ls6 intake manifold, right behind the throttle body, do I connect this to my waste gate and blow off valve?

I made a catch can....similar. Instead of a breather I have it running into my exhaust. I used one of those old one way valves from the air pump. Heres how I did mine. I'll just post all the pics if anyone wants to copy.
It mounts where the factory air pump was, the 1/2" hoses go to the factory valve cover breather holes, and the top 3/4" hose is tied into the exhaust and pulls vacuum from the canister. Works great, dont smoke and doesnt collect much oil.
I run E85 and before this my oil would get milky right away. With this, couple weeks later and the oil still looks like new.
