Forced Induction Oil catch can help

Forced Induction Oil catch can help
I've been searching for hours and haven't been able to find a real answer. I'm going tt and need an appropriate PCV/Breather set up.
The plan right now was just to have a catch can on the PCV on the passenger side, and vent it back into the intake where it was originally. Or can I even just put a filter on the part that goes back to the intake and not have it go back to the intake?
Then on the breather hose on the drivers side is it alright to put a filter on that and vent it to atmosphere? I figure because there's no valve on that side I don't want it going back to the intake with FI?
I don't really care what's the "best" set up at this point. Just something that'll work for now.

Plug the hole on the intake tube, plug the hole on the intake plenum, drill out the check valve in the PCV valve or replace with an AN fitting to hose barb, run both valve cover lines to the catch can with a single inline check valve, atmospherically vent.
This way you're not sucking ANY crankcase vapor back into the engine, you will need to wipe down the engine bay around the atmo vent because things will get a little oily over time.
That's the quick and dirty way anwyays.

You can just add a single check valve after the tee, on the outlet side of the catch can install the filter.
You may have to upgrade the catch can later if there's not enough airflow through the tee, you'll know because it will pop your dipstick out but unless you're pushing a LOT of boost (15+psi) it probably won't be an issue.
