I installed dual catch cans for this reason because the addition of FI makes the oil vapor blow-by intensified 10-fold. Now that you're going back to stock I don't think it's as much of an issue but I would still recommend a catch can at least on the passenger side instead of letting it collect in the "lower collector" as Nissan intended and then being burnt in the combustion chamber.
I can't believe I waited this long to do this, I had so much oil blow-by coming through my plenum spacer I had to do something. I will post up pictures elsewhere of what I found...

Interesting, those ARC catch cans are super pricey but they are pretty!
Well I just did a Top Speed catch can on the passenger side and then did the home made DIY catch can on the drivers side (using an air compressor filter unit). I've already caught some oil after driving only 10 - 20 miles!! That's oil that had been recirculated back into the intake for 34k boosted miles!

Maybe this engine can replace yours?
Maybe you can get in touch with this guy for an organ transplant. Hate to see one of our G's die.

After a lot of research here and on my350z I ended up throwing some stainless steel cleaner pads inside the catch can to atomize the oil vapor and catch the oil. I ended up using a clear/braided vacuum hose from Home Depot where I can see the oil collecting on the hose barb already...

well from what I understand ATI is internall oiled...I dont run to my oil pan at all....the places on the plenum have been routed through the ARC catch can...on top of that you know the hose that connects to the backside by the throttle body that plugs into the Z tube or G-tube which ever you have....I had that welded shut on mine and tied it into the ARC oil catch can as well..
if that mkes any since...

It doesn't really have anything to do with how the ATI is oiled ... it's the additional boost pressure from FI that causes more blow-by than NA which is why I asked if you did it pre-boost or not. When you see oil inside the plenum, it is typically coming from the passenger side valve cover PCV valve outlet (where the catch can is installed between).
With the Vortech, the drivers side valve cover outlet (no PCV valve) is directed back into the air filter just before the blower impeller so there is a great deal of vacuum there as compared to NA. I'm not sure how the ATI reroutes the drivers side valve cover vent, if it just goes to atmosphere (messy) or if it's also redirected into the intake...
