Just some info for some people who dont know what a oil catch can is used for I have done a write up and made a picture on how it works
A Oil Catch Tanks collect the oil, moisture and blow-by gas that causes carbon and sludge build-up in the intake system and engine to keep them clean even under the hardest driving conditions. An oil catch tank is also an excellent engine dress up item that will give your car a racing image.

Huge discussion on the different ways that can be set up on here and AUS Starlet Club.

Do a search, very good information in the thread ;)

the pcv valve is only open when on idle, the vacume of the engine opens the pcv valve, and the turbo pressure closes it.
