Breather/PCV/Catchcan setup for turbo. So whats the preferred method of crankcase evacuation on a turbo car? I was planning on a breather mounted on the passenger side valve cover, an enclosed breather with a vacuum nipple on the drivers side valve cover that leads to a catch can that pulls vacuum from around the air filter. Does this sound alright? I have a single plane, so there aren't any provisions for a PCV setup like the stock manifold. As far as pulling vacuum from before the turbo, anyone have any pics of this? Will this method coat the turbo and tubing interior with an oily mist?
Any other suggestions?

You most likely would get oil in the intake side setup like that. Just having breathers on the valve covers is usually sufficient enough; or hoses off the valve covers to a remote vented catch can. I did the vented catch can for a while before switching to a vacuum pump. A vacuum pump is pretty much to best solution to crankcase pressure.
