I'm new to this whole turbo thing and wanted to get some input on a catch can setup. The car is a 2002 AP1 and mostly a show car a this point but will see some spirited driving here and there.
I'm going to color match the valve cover to the rest of the turbo kit so I'll be buying a new valve cover.
Is there an advantage to buying an AP2 valve cover if I'm going to vent with -10an fittings? (even if there is no real advantage this is probably getting done for looks)
I plan on using a schmuck built catch can and full blown intake manifold. I would like the bungs to be welded to the front of the valve cover as seen below (for aesthetics).
Any advice is greatly appreciated

Reason: added a question
This is done to equal the crank case pressure to atmosphere, so you aren't pressurizing the bottom end.
Any FI car with over a Bar of boost should really do some research on this topic. Its been covered a million times over, but what I stated above is the reason its done.
