Oil catch can set up!
So guys ,
I wanna get some insight as to what catch can will be ideal for my set up.
I have a 2003 Evo8 currently making 432whp and 377 TQ. I am currently still on the MAF and have a stock 9 BOV so i don't have VTA bov or anything like that.
There is a basic magan racing catch on on the car right now with one port to the valve cover and the other to the turbo intake pipe. The car just got tuned and after since i believe i might be getting some crank case pressure. My oil pan and oil cooler line is leaking way more than before the car was tuned so that's my suspicion. I will be changing the oil cooler line and remove oil pan and reseal.
However question is i was thinking of upgrading the catch can to the one STM have with the filter on top? This set is more like a vented system, would this have any effect on my A/F reading ? seeing my system is pretty much recirculated?
One of the guys at the shop told me get the STM catch can with the single filter on top and vent to the valve cover and to the pcv valve. Would this be a good set up for me? lmk what you guys think appreciate the inputs thanks.

.There was a few places it was leaking:
(1) from the oil pan
(2) from the turbo oil return line
(3) oil cooler lines.
Think we may have fix the leaks but no doubt the problem may come back if i dont vent the valve cover properly. I will look into the pcv valve but i believe i still need a good catch can to deal with the crank case pressure.
