Default My 2007 s60 2.5t PCV bypass? W/catch can

I think I completely bypassed my PCV with the catch can set up, what do Y'all think? No more blowby from valve cover cap now. .

From catch can into cone intake before maf, and from valve cover to catch can. It's a baffled unit fairly cheap route vs pcv replacement i think.

Interesting. If it is problem free I am surprised no one else has done it. It seems to reduce crankcase pressure though I worry about the MAF over time.
How many miles have you got on it like that?

BTW - that is one spotless looking engine!

Thanks on the clean engine, I was searching for other options but found nothing on here. The car is at 171k miles running smooth catch can set up has about 20k now, my o2 sensor P0133 came on this week but doesn't seem to be related. I am going to take MAF out and spray some electrical cleaner in it to make sure I'm not getting it dirty with the fumes. Catch can works well it'll separate the oil from the air through the internal baffle but we will see how dirty the MAF is actually getting.
