I have been looking for catch cans for my stinger 3.3 Lamda II engine with twin turbos.

I came across these and not sure if I need twin or just PCV (needs for the one on PCV makes sense to me for other I can not find enough info online).

Thoughts?

Other options I have are

ADD W1 V3 - Baffled Oil Catch Can Kits (options dual and single)

Don't waste your time or $$. You won't need it. Kia/Hyundai have IVD handled on these engines.

I am seeing seeing mixed things everywhere.

I do remember your post

But later posts got me worried. Also seeing different post everywhere.

Also I am not sure if I am looking at video right,

At 1:02, injectors push gas and again at 1:04 before power stroke. In your first post, did you mean the first one was for cleaning intake valves?
 
I also thought you dont need one in Hyundai/Kia. But if you ever get one then skip Mishimoto.
 
Pointless on BMW and Audi engines, I bet the same for Kia.

I would rather put that money in a index fund and then use it for a walnut blasting at 60k miles.

Yes. That is their two stage injection sequence to clean the valves. I have also read they re-engineered the PVC/EGR system to help eliminate IVD.

Thanks, one more question, would catch can be useful to stop gunk from entering engine even if we don't have carbon deposits? The following post made me think this

I assume it would. But personally, I wouldn't want to give KIA/Hyundai and excuse to possibly deny warranty coverage if they see that on your engine.
 
Honestly, you would be better off taking that money and buying top tier 92 octane fuel for every fill up, and change the oil according to the severe service schedule. YMMV.

IMO, you bought a car with a very high performance engine. Treat it as such. Don't skimp on maintenance or oil or gas.

I am not. Using 93 octane only (skipping gas stations that have 91 as premium). Not sure if oil change every 3k miles is necessary (especially with Mobil1 EP) over 6k.

It's 200 dollars and I have spent a lot more on PPF, tint and accessories.

Yes, that's a risk for sure.

As is-any other manufacturer's chance to deny warranty. And don't "Mag Moss" this-the minute you need to call a Lawyer you lose.

Like others have stated, not needed. Save your money for other things. Run a very high quality D2 oil with a OEM filter for no more than 5k. Messing with a PCV that is already engineered well is an easy way to get any warranty claim rejected. KIA is not very strict on warranty for anything except the engine/transmission. Torn seats , broken interior pieces , lights so many other things will be warrantied without hesitation. Say the word engine/transmission and immediately maintenance records are demanded. Techline will order pictures of the top of the engine , they want pics of the lower end.They will want compression readings , ive done ethanol testing and sent in many a video. I really see no reason to add something that wont fix something and might create another issue. Have fun with your Stinger , they are fun cars. Only car I never minded doing a PDI on.

Thank you for the info. Looks like I would skip it.

Indeed they are. What's PDI (pre-delivery inspection?)?
 
Yes , its Pre delivery inspection. KIA has a fairly lengthy and detailed pdi procedure, that pays crap for the tech.
