So lately I've been getting tired of the oil smell from my breathers. It was only a temporary solution and looking for something better now.

Situation as it is:
Intake tube capped, vacuum port on blower capped, bottom of intake capped. Vac/Boost nipple on the blower intact. Breather on both valve covers.

Idea:
I was thinking of running both valve covers to a catch can then the output to either the vacuum port on the back of the blow or the intake tube. The back of the blower would give serious vacuum at all time, which would be good for scavenging but might be a lot of vacuum on the crank case and might suck oil out of the covers, mess up seals, etc? I think the intake tube might be just enough to keep the smell being sucked into the intake but not excessive since it'll be on the atmosphere side of the TB.

Any thoughts or reasons why this might be a bad set up?

Malcolm did a similar thing but instead of routing the catch can into the intake he routed them into the exhaust. You might hit him up and see what his thoughts are.
