Crankcase pressure solution
Heres my idea and Im open to all suggestions but im trying to keep it as simple as possible.
Basically I was running a RX performance catch can and still was developing leaks so I need to vent off more pressure
My idea- Delete the PCV all together- run a line off the Passenger side valve cover nipple Y it in to line off of the valley cover nipple then run a single line from the Y to a vented Moroso catch can.
thoughts?

Any pics of how you tapped into the VCs? Id like to run something big like -8 or -10. -6(3/8) will work but seems rather restrictive.

Here you can see the drivers side silver fitting that has the AN fitting and hose attached:
Here you can see where the AN hose comes off the top of the VC and the vented catch can where the go:

Correct. Just the 2 lines from the VC's.

I use a -12 moroso off my passanger side valve cover. Use a catch can with check valve off valley to tb. The we tapped off each valve cover with -6an to another moroso and took off the vent and welded a -6an male bung on it and ran it to the suction side of my blower. Pulls great vac. No seal problems. Just took the dongle off the other day for a belt change and the impeller to the YSI was perfectly clean. No oil intrusion.

Sounds pretty solid- I already ordered the parts to do it like Corvette-Chris though lol I was looking at running the McMaster Carr check valve and a catch can as you did but decided against it as the RX had 2 check valves and it still IMO let boost into the crankcase
