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...

otherwise its good

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

Nobody else?

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.
