Default Catch can setup

Is there any difference between catch can setups on FI and N/A cars? If so what? I am familiar with cans but just didnt know if there was something different between the two Thanks

Fi we usually ditch the pcv and use a vented catch can. Or when I can afford the $800 for a vacume pump to a vented catch can.

I like that setup Conan. So I can just vent both valve covers to a vented can correct? And just cap everything else? I have a can, so shouldnt I just be able to tap the top of it and add a breather?

You have 2 hoses on the pass side rocker cover and one on the rear of the driver side cover. I run the drivers side rear and pass side front to the catch can the back pass side is blocked off and the nipple on the intake behind the throttle body is caped. The pcv is totally gone. You could drill a hole in the top of that catch can and tap threads in to it for a barb and a filter.
