I think that's spot on.
So where are the Subby breathers in all 3 locations, or only 1 or two of the above? Both heads? I would think an aluminum screen/tube/thingy widget in the verticle portion of the tubing would allow the oil liquid and vapor to collect, and gravity pull it back down into the engine. Where is the return to the intake? After the MAS/MAF isn't it? Do the catch cans then just vent to atmosphere, or does that piss off the ECU for some reason so you have to use the return?

Sorry for the bunch of questions. Catch can experience limited to NA Italian cars.
