Default which catch can do you prefer?

I was wondering what the best catch can is for our blower setups? I need to upgrade my crankcase ventilation also. should I use that caspers breather that screws into the oil cap, and a catch can or should I get a can that has the breather on the top of it, which ones better? who do I get them through?

Now I'm not blown but on my turbo setup I have an AMW catchcan, with a breather on the valve cover. I do collect some gunk in the can; enough to know that it's working but not enough to worry about... I'm always curious to see what's in there. I've heard that methanol can sometimes gorp up your oil by emulsifying.

Moroso makes a breather can that has a 3/8 inlet like the stock pcv hose.

I have a AMW with my Procharger. I have no complaints. I did buy it when it was cheaper though.

Spade- how did you plumb it? I've got an AMW between the PCV and intake. But the valve cover to Procharger hat is direct and seems to be sucking oil.

I have the back of the drivers side valve cover going to the back of the passenger side. Just one line between the two. Then on the front of the passenger side I have it going to the AMW catch can. From the catch can I have it going to the hat of the Procharger. I dont get to much crap collected in the can. The car is naturally going to pull some though. I would definetly route yours different becaue the Procharger is going to suck oil into itself and you dont want that.
