I'm seeing all these crazy nice valve cover setups for catch cans with bungs in random locations but I hope you guys are aware of the baffle.
I experienced this issue first hand at the track. Took the quick way and used a filler plug fitting temporarily.
Tons of oil ended up coming out from the catch can filter at high g's.
I know many of the cars above are not track driven but keep in mind this is a big deal.
Here is what the valve cover looks like underneath:
Once you inspect the baffling, you will see the complexity of the system.
The best (only fullproof) way IMO is to use the oem pcv locations.

Another cost effective option:
This uses a -12 Banjo and replaces your oil cap. Any thoughts? Anyone have experience with this?
I could only think of the "non-baffled" issue. But then again so is venting from the side of the VC.

Duly Noted!Would you agree that welding/tapping the top of the VC would be the most effective location for a baffled vent? I'm about to drill the holes today and wanted to see if there are any downsides

^ I would be concerned for hood clearance in that case.
Not sure what's the problem of using the two stock outlets.

The hood clearance is a good point. I'm considering the banjo setup that z10 offers.

The stock outlets are too small. My dipstick is still popping out. If your referring to stock locations for the AN fittings, it's a little tight IMO to weld a -10 fitting.
