Default Crankcase Line

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out what to do with the crankcase vent line. I've searched the site, and it seems that there's no reason to pressurize the crankcase. I don't have the mechanics down, but I figured having the crank under pressure isn't a desirable thing.. Am I right?

My car vents both for right now... The PVC valve will keep being vented, but the valve cover will go to a home made catch can soon...

Thanks guys. Another thing I have to consider are the emission laws here in Ontario.. I think I'll take the time to run all the lines (PCV, crank, whatever) back down to the turbo inlet. Better than getting a $300 fine.

Where is the pvc valve located? And what is the point in venting that as well as the valve cover. I just have the valve cover vented.
