I vent to a 240D external separator, then with a large hose to the air intake of the turbo. Of course the liquid return part of the sep unit is plumbed back to the oil pan right next to the turbo return. Now the vapor side is plumbed so that it ends not in the intake air stream, but ends in a plastic container filled with fishing line and then has two small vent lines that snake down next to the oil pan(but not into). These hoses- about the size of vacuum lines would, in theory, vent the vapor to the atmosphere and I thought they would leak a minute amount of oil. The container is sealed tight and so the only vent is the two small vent lines. I hoped the fishing line would provide surface area to gather the oil from any remaining vapor and pool it at the bottom of the container, and then vent nearly as clean vapor as possible. The airflow thru the container has got to be much less due to the restriction of the "vents", and of course there is now no suction on the vapor.
The car did die several times in trips around the block here trying to figure out what was wrong before I found the oil leak.
