Default retro valve cover and pcv

im jumping into the turbo world. im trying to figure our how to l add a pcv on a twin turbo lq4. i want to use early Chevy script valve covers that have no provisions for pcv or adding oil. is there a way to do the pcv with out making a hole in the valve covers? or is there a way to hide the pcv? if i have to make a hole. can i just use a fllter and vent out to by its self or do i need a catch can?
i hope that makes sense.
thanks in advance

Positive Crankcase Ventilation is the bottom line so anywhere that's not under oil would work I would think.

Not sure why you want to run PCV on a turbo build. Most builds I've seen ventilate the crankcase using the valve covers or valley cover and a breather tank.

I would just weld 10AN bungs on each valve cover and vent them to atmosphere.
