Its about half complete, and half wrong.
1. condensation collects in one of the reservoirs because hot oil vapor contains water, and that water is pushed into the cold aux reservoir where it condenses into liquid water. This is why you never want an aux catch can positioned away from the engine's heat. And why you find the little black 'flow can' (the can on redtop engines that isn't really a catch-device) near the exhaust system.

2. They are not measuring part throttle and idle PCV signal in the crankcase or they would see that there is no suction provided by the turbocharger at those operating conditions. This is because the air filter can provide a full Atmosphere worth of pressure to that location (the tube behind the filter) at those times.

To fix this setup:
A. remove the aux, cold, aluminum box.
B. Include a factory PCV valve and intake manifold suction
C. Measure the pcv signal in the crankcase and adjust the restrictior diameter and air filter signal (at WOT) to provide 2-3" Hg at all times.
