I ordered up the moroso slash cut pipe and check valve from Summit.
My plan is as follows:
Weld shut PCV port
Enlarge "tiny hole" in VC baffle and possibly make another hole for good flow
Cut off and weld shut breather
Weld in a -12 male fitting on top of the VC, near the end of the baffle chamber
Connect VC to a sealed, non-VTA, baffled peterson catch can with a -12 and -10 fitting on it
Connect catch can to slash cut with some SS braid line and a hard line adapter. The slash cut is 5/8 so -10 hose will fit.
My only concern about this is: What happens when my engine is vacuum (not in boost)? Would it be best to have the PCV connected to the intake?

You can get a full set of AN wrenches for ~$40 delivered new. Or get a used set on eBay for less. Based on your build, that might be a worthy purchase.

Mine seems to be working good. When I take the line off I can actually feel air being sucked into the hose going to the slash cut at Idle. No oil smoke clouds out the exhaust ether.
Summit sent me another check valve and it works as I expected it to unlike the first one.

I’m thinking some sort of check valve in the return line and cap off the OEM PCV breather port.
