How does everyone rate my setup?
I'm boosted at 8psi and I do get build up in the catch mainly water with a little oil but I have to empty at least once a year if nor it overflows.
Could I make my setup any better or is it fine?
Thanks

Here's my take on venting the S2000. The PCV valve is a pollution control device. Because it's line is connected to the intake manifold behind the throttle butterfly vacuum in the intake manifold sucks air and fumes out of the valve cover and crankcase. The large vent line at the front of the valve cover has no valves--it's just connected to the intake in front of the throttle butterfly. It simply allows clean air into the valve cover as the PCV sucks it out. The PCV can't create a vacuum in the engine crankcase because of the front vent. The PCVs purpose is to remove and burn gasses from the valve cover and crankcase.
This is why I say try clamping the PCV line with a big office clip to solve the "right hand sweeper blue smoke" problem. For race cars I recommend removing the PCV and line completely and putting a catch can on the large vent line on the front of the valve cover like this (my catch can has a filtered vent). My oil level is rock solid now, I used to have to add about a half quart each track day.

There seems to be alot of uneducated solutions being passed around in this thread so I suggest reading this to have an understanding about how these systems actually work.

Preventing oil from getting there in the first place will be way too hard and way more work than it's worth, allowing oil to drain out of the baffle is much easier and it works.

I think this could be of interest:

It's the ProVent System from Mann+Hummel. It has also a return line to the sump. All parts can be ordered separatly. I will go for this, because nothing really worked for me.
