Valve cover recommendations

Anyone have any recommendations for a valve cover that in theory won't have pcv issues? I hear aluminum covers prevent this but wanted to get some more insight.

If mine fails, I'm going to aluminum myself.

Got the Vader Solutions valve cover installed. If you have a sawzall, go for it. If not, don't buy it lol. Fits perfect for n55. S55 needs to have the vacuum chamber taken out. However, the vacuum chamber plate holds the holes that allow the injector / coil pack wire rail to be bolted to the valve cover like on the factory one. Without it, it's just floating.

Charge pipes will not fit without removing the vacuum chamber.

I removed the red area which is the middle portion. Not too hard to do though. I do wish they provided some sort of instructions though
