Catch can idea,Whatta ya think... How about closing the PCV totally.
Teeing both valve covers together to a catch can and just running a breather on top of the catch can.This way u have no pcv running back to the tb and if it needs to vent it'll go out the breather.

Joel I'm running the AMW catch catch http://www.accmachtech.com/pcvcatchcans.htm who are a sponsor here and have noticed a large difference in my car. Before using it, I had loads of crap in my intake from the pcv pulling an oil / water mixture. After putting about 500 miles on the car with it, I have about a quarter cup of oil in the can and I pulled the throttle body and noticed a very dramatic decrease in the amount of oil in the intake. Granted, I need to pull the intake or do a top end cleaner, but at least I know its not going to continue to get owrse or have future issues.
It's less than $100 and definitely worth every penny.

Back to the catch can... I mounted that on the drivers side of the airbox assembly and routed the hoses under the intake track by the radiator. It's not exactly stealth, but its a clean install and easily accesible to empty it when necesary.
