I'm unclear as to how a catch can is going to solve your problem. Are you saying when hot, your getting increased blow by through your front breather and pcv and recirculating into your intake and that's causing the smoking?

If so, then the simple solution is to cap off those two outlets at the manifold, and vent valve cover to atmosphere. A catch can isn't a must, you can just stick a little filter on the valve cover pcv and breather ports, or run two long hoses and dump on the ground. Or run a vented catch can that has two inlets. However you want to do it, the main objective is removing the breather and pcv out of the loop.

i like the saikoumichi dual unvented setup - twin oil separators:
one uses the PCV (Vacuum) the other for WOT (intake side).
Doesn't come with hoses though.

Do #3 but run the pcv to the can as well. Run both front valve cover and pcv to vented catch can. Cap off the two corresponding intake manifold ports.

Doesn't the catch can have a inlet and a outlet or does it not matter if you hook them both up?

It looks like on that specific catch can there's no specific inlet/outlet. Like junky said, I would run both VC to the catch can and just vent it. It will not pass emissions though but you can return it to stock every emissions

They make several kinds. The vent would be the outlet so plumbing in both nipples should be fine. A catch can with a in and out should not be vented, becuase it would then still be used in the vacuum chain where the pcv is, you do not want this type to vent or you would have a manifold leak. Really the only reason for you to have a catch can is so you can achieve your objective and not making a mess all over your valve cover from just filtering it. Instead your using the vented catch can as a remote contained filter, but your doing the exact same thing as just sticking a little filter on both valve cover ports. Just make sure you get the right catch can for how your setting it up.
