You are going to want to replace your factory pcv valve with this piece (its currently on sale) http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mr.../overview/This only works with the AP2 valve cover obviously. You can then run a -10an line from that port on the valve cover along with a -10an line from the front breather port to a vented catch can. I use the blueridge motorsports oil catch can & water overflow combo. This catchcan can be found here and is on sale for 249.99 shipped http://www.buyimportperformance.com/...000-can.htmThe whole set up including lines and fittings cost around $320. 
No real wrong/right way to do it, kinda sorta, only thing that matters, is that those gasses have somewhere to vent, and aren't restricted. Some people swear that you need some sort of draw on the can (usually vacuum from the compressor side) others just let it vent. Some swear you need a can, others just run lines straight to the ground and give it all back to the earth. It all really depends on where you have the room to fit the can honestly. A cans a cans a can, doesn't really make a difference. I have an extra ap1 valve cover with 2 -10AN Fittings welded on it, powdercoated wrinkle black that I need to get rid of. Lmk if you have any interest in it.

I haven't had any issues with it, however I haven't diven it in months lately. It's been down getting new bushings all around and suspension. Else I'd get some mileage/oil caught data for you. I've put a few thousand miles on the setup and no oil residue in the SC inlet elbow or blades.

We offer some really nice catch cans! We can have them made any size or specs you need. Can have -10AN fittings or barbed fittings to use the stock lines off the valve cover. We offer fluid level indicators as an option as well.
All catch cans come internally baffled to catch more of the oil coming out.
