Hi all.
The breather setup in my m104 3.0 estate is looking old, pipes are aged and the mio filter is also not looking in good condition.
I've found a thread on a Audi forum about their breather setup and was thinking of using their one way valve and pcv valve to rebuild my system.

I've also seen bmw valves which appear to have an oil catch and return to crancase built in.
But from what I understood these systems are sealed and don't allow fresh air in
Here's a picture of my current system. Sorry it's not the best picture.

I know that the small connection on the rear of the mio filter is suppose to connect to the inlet manifold via a one way valve.
My rocker cover is connected to the mio filter which then exits to a T connector which appear to be connected to the crankcase near the water pump before going to my airbox.
Does my interpretation seem correct?
What I'm unsure of is that I thought the rocker cover pipe was primarily for pulling air into the engine to replace air that is pulled from the crank.
All other turbo technical systems I find pictures of appear to only vent a single connection.
If anyone understands my attempt to describe the set up and can offer any advice I'd appreciate it.
