If you want a closed system, you still don't want to use the PCV (too small of an orifice to flow enough, and it doesn't let flow out of the crankcase under boost which would defeat the purpose of preventing oil leaks) but you can set it up exactly as outlined in this thread, then route the filtered vent out of the catch can back to the turbo inlet if you want.

Can you you remove the separator or is it best to just leave it ? Only reason I ask is I removed mine to clean up the engine and paint it ( engine is out of car ) .

It will increase the amount of oil you get in the catchcan since the separator's purpose is to separate oil from air. The separator is basically invisible once installed in the car with the intake and other parts installed so I'm not sure it will "clean up" much to remove it once it's not on a stand.

I'm not trying to reinvent this, but only trying to fully understand... The PCV side and the valve cover breather is being tied together and vented to atmosphere through the breather on the catch can hence the one hose into the catch can?

Yes, those two hoses join together a few inches before the catch can. It's all the same system internally (crankcase and valve cover are are connected internally via oil drainback holes) so it makes no difference that they are connected externally as well.

I have just ordered the Morosso catch can, but can't find the AN -16 to NPT adapter at Spokane House of Hose. Where else can I find one?
Thanks
After finding other places via page 5 of this FAQ, it is now on the way. Thanks for the sorely needed info.

What size are the pipe plugs for the intake and turbo? Thanks

They are either 3/8 or 1/4 NPT (pipe thread).

Have you ever removed the separator and tapped the block? I bought the can you suggested but don't want to use the separator. Do you have any info on tapping the hole? Like sizes and fittings needed?

It sucks significantly more oil into the can when you go directly into the block so we don't do it that way.

ok let me see if im right. i have a holset setup so i wont be running the oil back to the turbo. I need to get rid of the pcv and run straight to a catch can then to the back of the valve cover opening(where do i get the vent thing thats fits in the rear of the valve cover?) that then vents to air?

No, it's crankcase to catch can and valve cover to catch can. Crankcase is not connected to valve cover. The fitting in the valve cover is stock. There are multiple valve covers that use different size/type fittings there.
