this is mostly why i chose to vent my catch can rather than route it back into the intake pipe. not much vacuum is created anyways. Big thread on DSMtuners and EvoM about this.

What was in my catch can (mostly water):


(this was my testing valve cover) I did 2 large NTP ports on the end, used a tap, some $2 NTP fittings, and routed them to my catch can. I used to get some blow by smoke and now i get none.
