    if you're car isn't turbo, then don't worry about it.
    just leave it alone or you could be messing some shit up and spending more than you really need to.

    PCV valve should just be put where the stocker is.. They're what, like $3? If you're still losing a lot of oil after you replace it then you might have too much blow-by. The next step after that would be to do a compression test.

    It might still be a good idea to stick a catch can, with some sort of media in it like SS wool, in line from the PCV valve to IM.

    If you plan to do something with the line from the valve cover to the intake pipe please don't just put a little filter on the VC.. Run a catch can inline with that too.
