the standard breather is piped back into the air intake . just fit a tank and put both of them to it and vent the tank to atmosphere.
i'd post a pic of mine but its a little different to the norm with it being dry sump.

Makes no difference mate, just run the one from the front breather on block to pot and rocker cover to pot, then pot to atmo

I'm building a zetec turbo, and I'm hoping to plumb it in in the same layout as my cvh turbo unless I'm advised otherwise, using a bailey breather btw

I ran a catch tank from the rocker breather, then back into the breather (snapped the k&n bracket, hence excuse the cable ties)
