Default LS boost question

I recently picked up a car from a buddy of mine, it is a fully built LS (eagle crank / rods, je pistons, sleeved / block guard, arp head studs, main studs and rod bolts...blah blah blah) with a turbonetics .63 trim turbo setup on 15 psi that supposedly was making 396whp. Im not sure if if feels like it is that high or not, but thats besides the point...on to my question...

When I got the car It had a b20 valve cover with a catch can setup, however the catch can was not right at all and not doing the job it should be, properly. It had two fittings welded into the front of the valve cover with what i believe was 10an lines running straight to the catch can, thats it, no vacuum or anything so it was pretty much just splashing oil into the catch can.

I bought another stock b20 valve cover and just put it on. My only concern is the stock PCV system for the amount of power i am making. I dont know if it will hold up, or if ill be okay for the time being.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And yes I did search but I couldnt find any information pertaining exactly to what im doing.

Why did you post this here instead of the Forced Induction forum? They even have a thread going already that pertains to catchcan/breather setups.
