Default AO Seperator and your advice

I know this is a pretty covered topic but I wanted to get your advice on an AO Separator.

I was at Sebring this weekend and pushing the car pretty hard and while going through Bishops bend (long left sweeper fast) and hitting 15 (right turn) and the car would stutter and big white smoke would come out the exhaust I would get off the gas and hop back on and no issues and wouldn't do it again until the same corner so after it did it to me twice i decided to go in and see what the deal was.(curious if anyone else had this happen) I know this is an issue with hard right corners in the S2000 so i grabbed a hose off my truck and a Gatorade bottle and made a quick AO separator and didn't have the issue again for the rest of the weekend. So obviously this is on my list to get before my next track day.

What do you guys recommend or have you done for an AO Separator? I have an 06 for reference.
I have seen pics of home made ones as well as the Radium engineering one but very hard to find a pic on an 06+
Any advice or help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

1) Drill valve cover baffle
2) Remove PCV and replace with an AN fitting
3) Run dual 1/2" hoses (one from PCV, one from breather) to a vented minimum 1 quart catch can mounted somewhere it can easily be drained

Drill the valve cover baffle and put a small catch can on the lines, you will never have an issue again. Most of the oil seems to come out of the PCV line.
I used to fill a catch can in 2-3 laps at Sebring, now I got a dribble out of the can after the entire last NASA weekend. I have a dual catch can on mine.
