Default oil catch can/ separator/ breather plumbing

can anyone give an actual definitive way this should be done

i found it a headache and left it in the end when i had my cosworths

as my subaru is a track car though and i have seen my check light flash a few times when on track which denotes knock i want to eliminate all chances of lowering my fuel octane and breatheback as possible by fitting a proper oil separator

whats best though

vent to atmosphere

back into engine

2 port

3 port

2 x 2ports

this is becoming a propa headache

do i delete the pcv or not

pictures and evidence or links to back up you opinions would be appreciated

cheers

im thinking and after a bit of research

from both heads and crank so 3 ports into catch can and remopve pcv

1 port on can to atmosphere and drain back to sump

i do understand a certain amount of vacuum is needed so can see the argument for a twin can set up but as this is a track car id rather remove what i can from the inlet

what are your thoughts?

Nail on head above, pretty much.

Remember to vent it towards the back of the car.

All discussed here. I have plumbed my system as stock with adapters to measure pressure and vacuum. I will be testing soon to see what the system does.
