Default How reliable is the stock one way pcv valve?

right now i have the passenger side valve cover connected to a catch can then connected to the intake side of the turbo. AND the stock line from the back of both valve covers is vented. my question is how reliable is the stock one way valve on the line from the back of both valve covers?

i want to use that valve on the line connected to just the passenger side valve cover for pulling blowby out at idle/cruising and connect the stock line from the back of both valve covers to my catch can/intake side of turbo.

here are the pictures:

You should throw everything from the stock PCV in the trash and get some Krank Vents. I used them on my last 240sx, my friends lightning and a couple cars before the 240. Lightning pulled 20in/hg of vaccum in the crankcase......

$145 is kinda expensive but they actually hold vacuum unlike any OEM pcv i've ever seen. Wish I had some pics but this was years and years ago. I can say for sure that these work almost as well as a vacuum pump on an FI setup.
