Exactly. You are only venting the crank case when your engine is in a vacuum condition the way you have it set up. While under boost, the pressure that will build up in the crank case has no way out (Except maybe out your dipstick after it launches out.) I also don't see a need for an extra check valve both before and after the catch can. The one between the IM and Catch Can would be the only one you need.
