Run a drain line back to the oil sump, make sure you run it back below the oil level. If you street drive it, put a ball valve in the drain line to close it off and only run the drain back while on track where the oil gets hot enough to boil off the condensation.

Recirculating to the turbo oil return is a bad idea. Turbos are very sensitive to the pressure in the oil return line and you can end up with bad oil leaks particularly if you race in a series that uses restrictor plates to regulate power. You want to drain your catch can somewhere where crankcase windage won't fight it as well as the dynamic pressure in your crankcase can be high in some areas. Also as others have mentioned the key is to separate the oil from the condensated water or fuel before recirculating so your oil viscosity and thermal capacity isn't negatively impacted.

Crank case breathing systems arr my job, work with all kind of oems. in your case i would 1.improve the baffling/oil trap, 2. Drain back to the sump and 3. Use a cleaner that actually does something (most after market dont clean any oil mist at all). At least a Provent 200, some cummins or similar coalescent filter device should work much better than pretty much nothing that you have today. (one more possible fix is to add another breather port, lower gas speeds tend to reduce the ammount of fluid oil that gets dragged along with the BB-gas)Great work with the speed!

Venting the valve cover will only do so much, you really need to get a crankcase breather on this. For the DSM's we use the balance shaft spot when we delete those unnecessary things, also I didn't notice if you had a Kiggly HLA on this as that will reduce the oil pressure to the lash adjusters thus letting less oil go to the head and stay in the pan for the more vital parts.

I'm an automotive engineer. Spent some time developing a troublesome breather system. Key it to increase the size of the intake to the breather, and ensure its intake is coming from an area with low airborne particles. As you said, you want low air speed. Try adding some plates that the air hits on its way to the outlet. As it hits and changes direction, it will drop oil. Ensure there are drain holes at either end of the breather chamber to allow oil to drop back into the engine. Consider adding a baffle over the cams to reduce fling.

Try adding return from the bottom of the catch can to below oil level on the sump AN10 would be perfect.

Plug the fittings and the filter on the head cover. Weld one or two AN 16 bungs on the sides of the sump and connect it to a baffeled tank. Add a drain from the catch tank to the sump as aswell, that will make it an air / oil separator. The pressure comes from underneath the pistons in the engine block, and travels up to the head.
