Default my catch can setup

would it be ok if i capped off all pcv ports (even ls6 valley cover) and ran a line from each valve cover to a single catch can then another line from the catch can to the turbo intake. should the catch can be vented. am I missing anything/ will this work good?

I ran a line from each valve cover to a vented catch can and also used one of Speed Inc. valve cover breathers in place of the oil cap.I didnt run a line to the turbo inlet and I havent had any problems as of yet.I used the outlet for the pcv to run vacuum to my bov.

i have a setup working damn good, i put an k&n breather on the pass. valve cover, capped the rear one. then ran the moroso crank case setup. it runs from the rear driver side valve cover to the exhaust pipe. at the end of a hard run it will pull oil out of the valve cover and smoke blue out the exhaust. works almost too good. im going to run a catch can now to help it out.
