Default PCV Layout Question

I've been running some designs through my head on this....

Anyone see any problems with this PCV layout? Vacuum pulled when not in boost, when in boost it will close the check valve and allow venting from the breather (on a catch can).

Assume 10 AN lines everywhere...

why have a check valve by the breather? it isnt going to push air back into the valve covers.

otherwise its good

Without that check valve you have a giant vaccum leak there.

I suppose I just need to build this and see if it works, eh?

Fair enough, but aside from some cryptic already installed pictures and vague descriptions there doesn't seem to be a lot of specific, detailed information. This is what I gathered from reading the designs of others (I did do about 3 hours of reading on this topic first).

Oh well, I'll build it and see.

Don't know yet. Just finishing up the turbo build now. I still have to install the PCV and get enough warm weather to tune the car. I will post up when it's done and tested.
