So very many threads on this. IIRC, Tracy @ RevExtreme did a very good thread on this issue just a while back (search). However, I would suggest not plugging off the PCV system as was suggested earlier. Here is my current, but a custom remote catch can is lying on my bench to replace the open breather on my cover, and I have also a port on the passenger valve cover that will be also connected to this remote catch can. In the pic, notice the PCV still there, however a catch can/oil separator will be added shortly. Just remember, we need good breathing, especially on sprayed and boosted cars.

There lies the issue with "one best set-up"
The states/counties that don't have smog requirements can be set-up differently than ones with it.
All these guys with "breather caps" would be marched out of CA smog stations. (yes Robert, even with your beautiful new motor)

I have a real hard time believing a $10/hourly employee has a clue as to what he's looking at under our hoods. You tell him there's a PCV system on it and he won't know there isn't. Once your PCM agrees with your statement you pass.
