Ummm...how are you not going to soil your turbo like that. ^^^
the point of the catch can is to let the run off oil fall into something while the gases can re-route to the intake. with a tube running from the valve cover to the turbo inlet you don't have the catch can installed to catch the oil before the turbo...you have it installed to catch after the turbo. and I don't see the point in running from the tube you have when it drains to the block anyway? correct me if I am wrong?
OP:you will want the can to be between your valve cover and your turbo inlet. So run the can with a hose going from the valve cover to the in port and then the out port to the inlet side of the turbo. That way the oil will be stuck in the can and the air can flow back through the compressor. BTW...i have an s14 so my tubing is different, but the other hose from the valve cover will just route back to the lower block.
