I seen one time someone had one on a COTM or whatever.. it turned into a big argument about it..
But from what I remember, I *believe* everyone said if you just slap that on there, then it's worthless. They said if you put a valve cover breather on instead of the oil cap, you ALSO need to do something with the vacuum line coming off the back of the valve cover.. the one that connects to the intake.. Don't exactly remember what you're supposed to do with that though.

You could probably put another small breather on the valve cover nipple, Autozone has small ones for $10. I always left my PCV system alone, with the TVS and now a turbo @ 140k never had any issues pushing oil or blowing my dipstick out.
