Default how to install a oil catch can on a procharged LS1?

I want to install a A&W oil catch can on my 01 SS camaro.
But i am not sure which line to tap into,
i was thinking the one that goes from the procharger inlet hat to the passenger side valve cover,
And can someone explain how the new Procharger PCV system works.
Thank you

OK so where do i install the catch can, what lines do i tap into , and i thought i have to plug the throttle body , line that goes to the passenger side valve cover, so boost does not pressurize the crankcase

This is what I did last night. My digital camera broke amd I am waiting on a replacement so no pics. On the crossover from the drivers side valve cover to the passaner side I took the Y off and added some hose to connect them. Basicly it just loops over. Then I capped off the valve cover to TB.
Went to macmaster and ordered part # 7775K52 www.mcmaster.com You will add the mcmaster check valve to the intake from the catch can. Run any catch can you want. I did convert to a LS6 valley cover for extra help. And I topped it off with a breather off the oil fill.

I dont have a procharger but I would choose not to put any discharge from the crankcase in the procharger. Basicly take the oulet from the valley and connect it to the catch can. Then connect the oulet of the catch can to the check valve then the check valve to the intake. That way when youre in boost you dont backflow the system This worked very well on my buddies setup that I did for him. His dipstick was blowing out and oil was everywhere Fixed it and it worked like a champ.
