so, folks have talked about dumping the aos into a catch can before - done often by racers (not street legal) avoids feeding oil into your engine upon failure, more notice of aos failure as you'll see oil build-up in the catch can. you you have to occasionally drain the can when it gets filled. here's a good option:

Stage 1 Single OCC

two issues with this approach:

1) crankcase vented to atmosphere, so not environmentally friendly.
2) no longer applying vacuum to the crank case which is a bad thing as engine is designed to have this vacuum to ensure ring seating.

so, has anyone tried combining the catch can with one of these:

TRM Tuning - Crankcase Evac Kit

basically it gets vacuum from the exhaust instead of the intake.
