Default PCV on STS HELP!!!

Sorry to bring this up again you guys. Can anyone please help me setup a simple and effective PCV setup. I've tried everything and no matter what I do I keep getting blowby out the breather. I'm trying to work with what I have and thats 2 small Home Depot CC's and 1 check valve. Can somebody please help me out My last setup I ran a check valve between the manifold and pcv along with a Home Depot cc, I plugged the TB and ran a breather right off the passenger side valve cover. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Went a differernt route. STS PCV bypass to an AMW atchcan, then to the PCV valve. It seems the catch can vents the pressure. I already had the can when the car was NA....and plugged the STS PCV switch right into the system. No real thought behind it when I did it.....but it does seem to work well.

This can be a little tough because of how much people are willing to spend on their setups. Regardless i think if someone posted up a good starting place or at least a basic layout for others to follow, we would greatly cut down the amount of PCV threads.
