Now that I look at the prova AOS again, I see what you mean. I haven't had a TMIC in a long while, I forgot those hard lines along the intercooler are from *both* heads.
So this setup is basically the top type of catch can in this picture:

...but with a drain-back to the heads.
The problem is that there is likely going to be the possibility of crank pressure blowing out the heads (and thus pumping oil out the heads) because the crank breather is the same size as the valve breathers. I don't know how good that separator is... if it can't handle a heavy stream of oil, you may be blowing oil right into the intake. Probably not going to be an issue on a street car, but on a race car that can sustain 1+ lateral G's, I'd be concerned, especially if I had WRX heads with the single breathers.
