You can see the breather on the bottom left corner of the valve cover that breather does not let the cover fit on the motor without removing it but i know i need it ????????

are u talking about a breather on the pcv valve? if so y not just run a hose from it to ur intake like it was originally set up?
get a catch can..wouldn't hurt having one anyway

there is no PCV valve and either way hes boosted, you don't add boost to the crankcase.
and as said, run a catch can, thats the proper way on a boosted car.
How hard is it to run a catch can , and do you have a good one to recommend , ive seen them before but it usually has 2 hoses coming from it and there is only one hole on my valve cover ?

Pre turbo intake doesnt see boost, you must have been thinking the cold side charge piping.
But yea Id run a hose from the vc to a catch can, then either put the breather on that or run a hose to the turbo intake. But for now you could just run a hose off the vc to somewhere away from it and put the breather on th end. Should give you room for the cf cover
If you run it the way it was orginally setup like he said, it will be a few inches from the throttle body and will see boost.
Get a catch can and hook it up. One hose to the port on your valve cover, the other port to the intake side of the Turbo (filter side) so it see's vacuum.

Just run a 10" piece of tubing from the valve cover to the breather/filter and tuck it away somewhere.

He is boosted he needs to run the system the way it was intended, but without boosting the crankcase. Catch can is the way.

he is turbo, unless he has an aftermarket intake manifold he will still be pressurizing the crank case because the pcv valve is covered by the stock one. so you need to get that opened then get vac to that and the valve cover both.
