so there really is no pcv valve just two vent lines to a can?
I seen some detailed systems that went in and out of catch cans with lines off the compressor side of the turbos and also using vacuum from the intake just a bit confusing!

Verdad Gallardo Street car or race car? You can pull vacuum pre turbo. Depends on what you are using it for. I am drag race only. If you pull vacuum thru a catch can it can't be vented. If you are using boost pressure to "push" into the catch can, the can must be vented. Make sense? No need for Pcv
I'll be using the mightymouse PCV catch can to avoid oil fumes and mist in the engine bay. the can goes between the Valve covers and the intake with a one way check valve for when you're in boost. the PCV from my LS6 valley cover will go to a fresh air port in my filter pre turbo.

On a street car I prefer to not smell any fumes so this is how I set them up.
LS6 valley cover with one way check valve to intake manifold. Both valve covers routed to air filter(s) or induction between air filter(s) and turbo(s)/supercharger.

Yes i definitely don't want smell or most everywhere! I will probably be using a single plane intake and a flat billet valley cover so I don't think the ls6 cover is in the cards.

vented valve covers stink sorry, but I'm looking to either move the catch can to the back of the car or go with an RX dual valve catch can designed for boost
I'm worried that the little 3/8 hoses aren't near big enough
the -10 I have now have a larger inner diameter and flow alot more
I also think my engine has some excessive blow by so I'm checking out the leak down and compression
its a ttix car with about 20k on the build

I read allot of guys pulling vents from the valley pan instead of the valve covers is that a better route say two lines from the valley to a catch can they send them bach pre-turbo might require two cans and have them check valved?
