Default CC Venting?

I have read many different threads about vent/catch can set up's for twin turbo's but still don't know what will be best for my build.
I planned on running 2 -10 or -12 lines one from each valve cover to catch cans then back into the fresh air side of the turbos I could also pull from the valley cover if that is a better way?

Vent the valve covers to a can with a filter, then vent the valley to a different can that also has a line to your intake manifold port (add a check valve if boosted)

So the valve covers dead end into the one can and the valley vent hits the second can and gets pulled back from intake vacuum that correct?

Yup, valve covers to a vented can.

Then the intake manifold 'sucks' the vapor out of the valley plate and filters it through a catch can. Put a check valve in the line by the manifold so boost won't pressurize the crank case.

IMO if you have a built motor with FI ring gaps you need lots of CC venting. Much more than a typical catch can can provide. I have a -10 on each valve cover to a can with a large breather on it. Before that I would always push oil out the rear main.

for sure... I pushed oil out my rear main until I added a -10 line and moroso catch can (in Bill's garage no less, lol)

Ditto, same as above. I ran my NA setup like that for years, but used just cheap 3/8 or -6 rubber line from the valve covers. With the turbo setup I have the catch can mounted by the air filter so it does pull in some of the stank haha
