82mm Mercedes TB -- What do I do about PCV?
Ok so I recently upgraded to the 82mm mercedes TB sold by a vendor on here.
Swapped my pins, everything seems great but there is no provision for the pcv. All there is, is a large diameter (3/8th?) vacuum port, which we capped off.
I ordered a needswings catch can hoping it would bypass my need for the pcv breather, but apparently not.
Any thoughts?

Thank you for your reply. I wish I had known or thought of the solution you proposed prior to spending a couple hours reinstalling the Supercharger, and just putting fresh gaskets in, lol.
I think what I will do, is just vent to atmosphere after the catch can, and put a filter on the breather port.
Assuming I never drive the car in winter, I should have no risk of freezing/blocking my PCV system, So I think I'll be alright?

Or does it matter on these motors since we have a second throttle body below?
I am not sure what to think now.
