I run one on my 6L and it's naturally aspirated. I get about a tablespoon of oil for every 1K miles I drive. I went with the NLP style and love it. Looks clean and mounts nicely on the firewall with no drilling.

I highly recommend a catch can. Pay no attention to the sloppy hose connections...this was during my "test-fitting" phase of my build. I cleaned it up significantly since then however don't have any fresh pictures yet.

For those who would like some good background information on a a good working crankcase venting system look at this link from tech:
