Then what you think if i change to this

1.- Run one line from valve cover to one port on catch can.
2.- Run the other line directly from the black box (on back of block) to other port on catch can.

Or tell to me which could be a good catch can setup

you're just going in a circle, you need the crankcase to be in vaccuum all the time, or at least in boost for sure. I have been running mine completely open but it smokes a little in boost.

Here's one link I'll try and find another one.

Here's what I did. It worked great, before I had this on my car smoked like a ----------er (to the point of "fogging" out an intersection), after I put this on it didnt burn a drop of oil.

A slash cut would also be very effective and simple, pcv valve to a slash cut in the exhaust, done.

Edit: I got some head from some people saying it was a waste, the thing worked great, I will be making another one within the next few days for my new setup.

Great thinking on using the PS resevoir...that way you can mount it in a factory manner without having to make anything. Great idea.
