Same setup on my old (RIP) 89 Tona @14psi, daily beater.
I still plan on plumbing the scavenge kit on the Charger, for a better wear on the rings. (makes me feel better?)
Turboscotty used those kits on his 25psi Turbo Scamp, and his circletrack car.
Both behaved well, and you know how much you rev the piss out of a circle-track 2.2!
They work. You might want to check how much vacuum you are pulling when you're in the boost. In theory too much crankcase vacuum could interfere with the oil pump's low side pick up. Supposedly, maximum benefit is at about 15# of vacuum. Haven't done it, but I imagine that you can regulate the amount of vacuum with a Grainger valve. Just tee it into the hose between your gulp valve and the valve cover/crankcase to bleed atmospheric air into the vacuum line. There are vacuum relief valves sold that bleed air into the valve cover but for a street car the air sucked into the VC should be filtered. Putting the bleed in the vacuum line avoids that problem; any dirt just goes out to the exhaust.

Why not just run the valve cover port through a catch can and then to the intake before the turbo?
Because catch cans fill up. That said, you can put a one way check valve in a drain line from a catch can and have that drain line connect back up to the crankcase.

Is the actual PCV valve required if using a catch can and running the vacuum line to the intake before the turbo?
Yes
How much harder would it have been to make a hole in the intake tube and run it to there, like factory? Seems better than having it blow oil all under you carstock PVC in stock 3 way elbow. PVC valve in top hole and the bottom hole I clamped a piece of pipe for a junction to attatch a piece of heater hose and ran to the ground (or just after the K frame).
If your catch can is "filling up" your motor is on the way out. Mine is very small and has yet to fill up (even a 1/10) with a few hundred miles. I did have it get half full once when I was tuning and has it so rich fuel was making it past the rings....
You don't want the trapped oil/crud going back into your engine, its nasty stuff.
Exactly, my worn engine would fill it once a week, when it was new, it would take months to even get a drop in there.
