Default High boosted (16psi+) PCV setups?

What do you guys run for a PCV system? Should i just use a breather? I ran my stock PCV at 13psi from a D-1SC with no problems, but I dont know how it will hold up running 18-20psi from a F1-R.

I've been running the PCV system capped off and one breather where the oil fill cap would be.

Over the winter I am going to run 3/8 hose from the pcv outlets into a Moroso breather catch can, and keep the breather I have. If I end up running aftermarket valvecovers I might consider running hard line off of fittings into catch cans.

Ok so I should just cap off my PCV system and run a breather and that should do it.

Thanks

I want to know to. I was thinking about adding a catch can to the hose that comes from the VC to the blower inlet. Since it started to suck some oil.

i dont think just a filter on the oil cap is enough ventilation for high hp. you always want to go huge on ventilation for turbo cars.. most race teams will run at least a -10 on each valve cover.

I've put breathers on both valve covers and even intake valley cover. Capped off barb on passenger valve cover and haven't looked back. So far so good...

Arrows show obvious front filter and where other filters are now.
