just put a breather on the crank case and plug the intake tube
you can get a nice billet breather for 50 bucks.

autozone and home depot. Total of like $20 with the breather. Its just a couple of pipe caps. section of 2" pipe, some 3/8 barb fittings and a grommet and breather. My concern is with it set up like this would it allow boost to escape out of the manifold?

They don't have any baffling or any thing inside to separate the oil mist from the air. The AMW and the Lingerfelter have a mesh filter element.
