Well, i do understand how the one going into the manifold works but why do all these guys talk about blow by in the intake and at the compressor? Are the catch cans for those false advertising or what am I missing? One guy will say, yeah I caught a lot of oil in my catch can while another will say, you can't play with the pressures on these engines or you can seriously screw them up lol. There's no straight answers out there besides from people like John who actually design systems to keep the gunk out. I myself see no issue with putting a catch can for the intake>vc as well as the vc>turbo lines. But I don't build them to fully understand the benefits or negative effects they could have in the long run.
