Whipple Crankcase, PCV, catchcan setup.

Whipple Crankcase, PCV, catchcan setup.
I HAVE SEARCHED, and I have not found any REAL solutions to route a PCV/catchan setup on a PD blower.
I have a mike norris catchcan with a rear inlet 2.9 Whipple and I need to know how to install PCV/catchcan setup correctly.
My thinking is I can Tee the valvecovers togeather to the catchcan and then run a PCV valve in line from the catchcan to the inlet (between the TB and blower) No filters needed.
Will this work?

I had the same setup minus a check valve on the filter(don't see why you would want/need one here) and it worked well up to 12psi. At 15psi it started saturating the filter and dripping on my headers. I am planning to run the setup in the diagram below if I can find an inline check valve with 5/8" barbs and a low cracking pressure. I am currently running just the vented catch can with -10 to the pass cover and 3/8" to the driver side pcv valve and it seems to be venting fine but I want to get the vac source on there to get rid of the fumes at idle.

what does the check valve fileter do? where did you find one?

While at idle (high vac) the check valve closes off the driver side line to only draw in fresh air from the pass side to evacuate the fumes from the crankcase. If the check valve weren't there, it would likely pull a lot of fresh air from the driver side (path of least resistance) thus not fully flushing the crankcase.
I found a 3/4" check valve with .33psi cracking pressure on McMaster-Carr with threaded female ends and am going to use some 3/4" NPT to 5/8" push-on hose fittings to place it inline.
