would it be a good setup for a boosted engine to just completly cap/ not run the pcv system and run two -10 or -12 bungs/ lines to a vented catch can? what will this to do engine life?

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...
