Default Catch can set up

Can anyone advise me one the plumbing of an rcm track attack catch can to a new age hawkeye sti,
Ive got the return to sump at the bottom which won’t be going in the sump as it’s only a weekend car, the big top hose goes down the gearbox channel?
Then there’s the 2 smaller ones next to each other for each head breather? And the one slightly below for the crankcase breather?
has anyone got a photo of which pipe is the crankcase breather pipe to make sure I have the right one

Is this the pipe from the crankcase breather the one in the middle of the photo by the throttle body?

that's it, but if you don't know that already you shouldn't do anything more until you can obtain a better understanding of how the system works.

Thought it was, everyone seems to pipe these catch cans up differently it’s hard to figure out which is the right way, some say take the PCV out and others leave it in and just connect to the pipe pictured

If the breather pipe's aren't connected back to the turbo inlet the pcv can't work effectively, so best to take it out. My can is fitted into the pipes running back to turbo inlet and act as breather pipe filters, so the system is unchanged.

Was thinking of plumbing my rcm one but putting the big vta pipe back to the inlet so it still has a little vacuum if that would work?
