Re: catch can set-up i have searched!!!!!
here's a PCV design i made up. provides good vac source under light and heavy load.
light load: IM will provide vacuum. check valve will prevent positive pressure going from IM to PCV system
heavy load: slash cut in exhust will provide vacuum. check valve will prevent odd pressure surges going from exhaust to PCV system

^ do NOT run anything into the intake manifold, nor you shell run a hose to the turbo inlet ... Do either exhaust or open breather after the catch can. I've tried so many catch can setups ... oh man ...

under light load, a slash cut makes MINIMAL vacuum. but the IM will see heavy vacuum

Just gut the PCV and run a hose to the ground, and another from the VC to the ground. Done.

Re: catch can set-up i have searched!!!!!
the problem with running it just to the ground is you have NO VACUUM SOURCE
pcv system doesn't work too well without a good vacuum source. perhaps works a little bit, but no where near as effective if it had a good vacuum source. why do you think people spend so much on a vacuum pump just for their pcv setup?
