I beleive most people here are running breathers or a catchcan. I use two breatheres in the rear, and a PCV Valve up front. Unless your talking about a vacuum then i don't think there are many people doing that here.

Of course the BEST way to do it is with a external vacc pump or dry sump oil pump, both of thoes things will run a little bit of cash though.

You mean 'what is the best way to alleviate or reduce crankcase pressure.'

You need to vent it, not recirculate it. Or use a vacuum pump setup which is at this point still custom stuff.
