I'm going to go with no since it has port fuel injection with direct injection. People usually ran them when GDI engines first came out because there was no port injection and nothing to keep the valves clean, which means that crud/gunk could build up on them.Does the new 2021 F-150 power boost need a catch can? I have one on my older 2014 ecoboost and it worked very good. Just was not sure with the powerboost and the hybrid part.
thank you,

I'm sure you'll have people that will do it anyways and argue otherwise.

I don’t have a picture of my catch cannon my old ecoboost. The catch can had a tan color at the bottom and thick like Carmel.Port injection does not cure blow by. It may help by washing the valves, but you are still pushing contaminates through the engine with the factory PCV system. This is amplified with turbocharged applications. Catch cans weren’t created just to cure the problems with direct injection.
I installed my JLT 3.0 at appx 60 miles, a little over a week ago, and now have 380 miles.
I checked mine for the sake of this thread. It may only be a few drops of contaminates, but I sure am glad they aren’t being pushed through my engine.
It’s a personal choice though.I know a guy with 300k on a first gen 3.5 eco boost with no catch can. Seems fine, he’s probably ripping 80 on his way home from work in it right about now.
Dang buddy, buy the JTL one the other person posted about, it's a direct fit (not universal) and it's half the price...This is the one I was going to purchase
Proven Ground C&L Series Gen 2 Monster Oil Separator Catch Can; Black (Universal Fitment)
Our Price $314.99 (each)
Do not listen to the “Ford fixed this don’t need side”Does the new 2021 F-150 power boost need a catch can? I have one on my older 2014 ecoboost and it worked very good. Just was not sure with the powerboost and the hybrid part.

It's been for a few months now...Yes JTL is what I had on my truck before. JTL is working on manufacturing one for the 2021 year truck. They said hopefully end of summer. ?
