Correct, about the pcv valve going to your intake manifold.

make sure you using a breather or catch can on the one that normally goes to your intake pipe.

My car is a 92 TSI, 5 speed. I have a brand new PCV, and when i put my air compressor on it and blow it with anything over 12 psi, air blows through. If I'm running 20 psi of boost, won't this create a huge boost leak? This seems like a big problem, I just want to cap the PCV off altogether.

Yes, it will. Often times new PCV valves are faulty.
