Catch can noob question

Are you just running lines just from the front pcv(like the DIY) or are you running both pcv and the intake breather vent into the can?

Why would you run the crank intake breather side off the catchcan?? 1) always run from behind the MAF so you always have metered and filtered air. 2) always run your catch exhaust to atmospheric vent or back to intake manifold.

Those instructions are there for a reason. Far smarter people have engineered and tested and wrote the instructions. For a reason.

So just leave the breather hooked up? I must have misunderstood when i started planning this, i thought both the pcv and the cc breather would allow oil and gunk back into the intake.
