Default PCV setup with Boost questions

I have been running 10 lbs for about 3 years now and am starting to get more blow by. Right now I have the PCV hose going to the blower inlet with a catch can in between the PCV and Blower inlet. I also have the passenger side valve cover vent hose going to the blower inlet with a catch can between it and the blower inlet as well.

I am thinking about replacing the passenger side vent with a breather and then adding a breather on the drivers side valve cover. I plan on leaving the PCV hooked to the blower inlet. Any downside to this setup? I am just looking for a little more crank case ventilation.

So you are pulling vac out of intake PCV and the valve cover?

What are you allowing for breather dirty side?

Yes, both the PCV and the passenger side valve cover go to the blower inlet. This is per Procharger instructions.

What do you mean about the breather dirty side?
