    Was thinking of welding 2x -an12 fittings on the cam cover then into the catch can
    Does that sound right guys?

    It depends where you put them?

    You'll probably need deflection plates under them too.

    I think that the splash can go around and that will mean you're oil will disappear in the catchcan.
    Not with liters, but still. I would prefer to have a splashgaurd as well in this kind of setup :)

    Splash guard you mean by fitting a plate over the fittings and drill some holes through the Splash guard?

    If you look through Gurdip and Niges turbo Abf threads, you'll see a great pictorial explanation of it.
