So if you just connect the catch can to the PCV's and not the to the intake then you will have no vacuum to pull the vapors out and the can is pointless.

Normally blow-by is piped back to the intake to be burned off but the catch can with a proper baffle should be able to extract much of this material from the air so the intake has minimal oil exposure and maintains a cleaner condition.
How's that?

Thanks! Yeah I understood the basic concept of it's function, but thanks for both of your input
