I have a ProCharger on my car. I installed TWO catch cans:

The first is connected to my valley plate (Yes, I replaced mine with a Z06 style).
The second is connected to a valve cover.

The output of both are 'T'-ed together, then run to the top of the air filter. This is the preffered connection for a forced induction. No need to feed a PCV into the intake anymore.

Catch cans are used to pull the ait out of the engine and seperate out any oil in the air. This is a common issue on forced induction engines due to the forced induction causes more blow by the rings, and puts more air in the crankcase.
