Default connect breather to inlet manifold or not?

bit confused on this one!
got the instructions thru from Spec-R (thanks ) on fitting the oil breather to the s2, and on there it says to connect one outlet to the elbow on the inlet manifold as per the original breather.
I read on here a while back many people including Karl @ NMS say dont do this as you are pressurising the breather with boost which obviously aint good!

Whats the best thing to do in this case, connect it with a non-return valve or not connect it? Why is it connected there in the first place anyway, cant work that out!

Secondly another connection goes to the metering unit, i thought one point of an uprated oil breather is that it doesnt return it to here, as this will force it back thru the boost pipes again

anyone shed any light? ta!
