what do you use as a vacuum source or relief source.. primary turbo inlet or manifold line from filler neck to uim..

im gatherin since the manifold will produce additional pressure should the pcv valve fail.. its better to use the turbo inlet...

eliminating another possibility of another part failing.. there are other configs available but im not interested in venting to atmosphere..

I have hoses on both nipples going to the sides of my catch can, and then on top is the exit hose going under the car. On the bottom is the drain plug.

Why not just tie it into the line between the turbo inlet and the oil filler neck, which is basically where it goes anyway. You have to plug the inlet pipe anyway might as well use it.
