Default the "Catch Can"

Can someone please school me on the catch can, in relation to the turbo setups on lsx's? I just bought the breather oil cap and i'm spitting oil through the filter cap. Also, where can i purchase the catch can from?

Thanks everyone!!

My pcv is gone, I have the intake blocked off and both rocker covers going to a vented catch can.

Dual catch cans is probably over kill. We run two for a couple of reasons, one is because it is a little easier to route everything. Another is if we start getting a lot of oil in the catch can, with two we can at least narrow down what side of the motor is having a problem.
