I got a question: i have a turbo on my 97 miata, i blocked the intake side of the pcv valve and i put a catch can with a filter and realated it to both sides of the valve cover. Is it the safest way or no ?

The problem was the turbo was sucking the oil as i mounted the a hose from the valve cover on the turbo side to the inlet of the turbo. Also oil was getting sucked from vaccum by the engine

If you don't want your engine ingesting it. Then use the Deezum method with those air oil separators with an electric vacuum pump and a vacuum reservoir.

A pcv is a check valve that allows the intake to pull vacuum from the crankcase, not add pressure.
In that drawing, the pcv connects to what exactly?
The bottom line is, the crankcase needs some form of vacuum. There are several reasons why.
