Default PCV/ Breather Setup for N/A Track Car?

I'm wondering if the factory PCV system is sufficient for an n/a track car? I've got a drift car I'm putting a new (used) motor into due to excessive blowby (smoking nonstop even after new OEM valve covers) and if necessary I'd like to address the PCV system.

I have the factory PCV on my track car and haven't had any issues. Could be your PCV system is not working correctly.

Do you drive a 2006 RevUp? Sounds like the 'oil consumption' maybe?

I went to a moroso breather, drilled out PCV and routed to my drivers side valve cover.

I started having oil issues while cornering. I guess the cover would load up and pull mass amounts of oil to the intake.

Ok so my understanding from what you said is that is an example of what NOT to do and you went back to stock?
