It will decrease the life of your oil, as you wont have anything sucking out the bad stuff from your engine.
You really need to get a vacuum source setup to pull from the covers.
Bascially same concept as your, with blocking everything off and running 2 hoses to a catch can, but then running another hose from the catch can to a vacuum source, preturbo, like the intake filter, or the side of the turbo inlet.

so running the 2 -12 lines. one from each valve cover, to a catch can. then run a third line from the turbo intake to the catch can... would it matter that the line would be really long as its a rear mount...
