So....I know this has been beaten to death around here, but I am going to revive it.
First let me explain my setup:
InlinePro F24C
17psi
505whp/375wTQ
I am looking into Air/oil separators and am about 1 day from pulling the trigger and drilling/welding 4 -10AN lines in the valve cover and running a $300+ Air/oil separator
to keep my dipstick from blowing out.
MY QUESTION IS THIS:
have any of you forced induction guys NOT run 4 fittings on the valve cover and just used the PCV line to connect something like this?:

do I HAVE TO go crazy and run 4 fittings and a large capacity separator?
Will a smaller separator work, if I am just checking its level more frequently?
If you run 4 fittings and a large separator, is it ONLY for the capacity(i.e 2liters versus 1 or smaller) or does adding the 4 fittings and running 3 filter elements become THAT important at certain boost/power levels?
Any of you big HP running small/cheap DIY separators with no issues?
Also, if you have one, could you post pictures of your setup?
The search function on this forum sucks and gives u 20 pages of the same damned thread.
HELP A NUKKKKKA OUT!
p.s. for your troubles:

(ignore the date---lower line is 10psi)
