Just wondering - not sure anyone will have a good answer for another decade

The early direct injection engines like the Alfa JTS, but not Alfa alone by any means - RS6 anyone? - have suffered from carbon buildup. That's because there's no washing effect from the fuel.

Does anyone know if the new gasoline engines for the Giulia - both the Ferrari V6 and the Multi Air - have incorporated anything to reduce this problem?

maybe they will develop DIY kit or something that dealerships could do

principle seams to be very simple (here is example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnMhNXXawjk)

otherwise we might follow the "alternative catch tank project" from this forum

Oil Catch cans are a thing how ever I would be more worried about DI Injection failure. I haven't look at too many technical specifications but I am wondering if its both DI and PI (Port). If not what DI pump is being used? I hear some DI pumps are not reliable and can fail over a short amount of time (hard use especially).

after now in total approx 150k KM of using JTS engines (2.2 & 3.2) can tell you have not problems with those.

haven't saw any threads here about the direct injection (except that carbonisation problem)

maybe a case for water injection.....

The 1.4 multi air is not a direct injection engine (for now at least).

Supposedly the Giulia's 2.0 is, according to the Autocar review anyway.

New 2.0 unit in Giulia is the first implementation of both multiair and direct injection.

Didn't know that - it would be good if they've found room for it all in the cylinder head. I think that was what was really holding the MA back in the Mito & Giulietta, they could control air intake very well but still couldn't get the mixture bang on, but then they do pop & crackle well so I could forgive them

Glad to hear (Sorry, I have been burned before on my GT86 with DI issues). haha
