Re:what to do about pcv valve from boost
the idea is that if you have 5psi of boost acting against the pcv, the crankcase will still pressurize by other means and it won't be able to vent (which is bad). dealing with the pcv is easy: just take it out. get rid of it, throw it away. replace the whole setup with a hose that goes to a vent bottle. the crankcase will be free to breathe and the oil will fall to the bottom of the bottle. You can buy one or even make your own (it's easy).

it's $35.99 "buy it now" option plus shipping which is $9.99, bringing the total to $45.98. And the best part, it's available in anodized blue, red, or polished silver. I will be purchasing one today.

Re:what to do about pcv valve from boost
guys.. a catch can isn't 100% required to function but the races tracks won't let you on without one. Look at stock DSM turbo cars, they don't come with catch cans. You guys are twisting the way the pcv should be setup.. here is a very simple picture:
You really need to have it hooked up properly and not just unhook things and let tubes flap in the wind. The system does require a vacuum loop to it, any other way and you are looking at problems a few weeks down the road.. I know many people around here can vouch for this saying "I didn't hook it up and now my ringlands broke". Hasn't anyone here ever worked on an eclipse GST? This is the method that your 4 banger hondas run. If you had a v8 then things would be slightly different.. how hard is this to follow?

Alright kids this is what I do about the PVC system. The system on the back of the block is fine and doesn't need to be fucked around with. For the valve cover breather buy one of these things;

Its a crankcase evac kit. This thing is for a V8 so there's twice as many parts as you need. But it basically uses your exhaust to pull a vaccum out of your block. V8's have been using these things for years.
Here's a basic rundown of the parts
Than all you do is run a hose from your valve cover to the fitting that is now welded on the exhaust. If you have a cat weld this on after the cat. This system is simple and effective
