Anybody worried about carbon build up with the 3.0L EcoBoost engine in your BRaptor? If so, what are you doing about it? Catch can bypass as advocated in this thread?
You probably read this in a 27-DEC Ford Authority posting: "... Our technician notes that this improvement can be attributed to the engine’s
dual port injection, as port injected vehicles don’t have this issue, while
direct injected engines experience, as we saw,
pretty bad carbon buildup."

Port Injection (PI) = no build up
Dual Port Injection (DPI) = some build up
Direct Injection (DI) = significant build up
Granted this is after 100k miles on 3.5L engines and BRaptors have not been around long enough to rack up those kinds of miles, but
what about preventive maintenance? Catch can and premium fuel? For whatever reason, Ford opted to not use a DPI setup on the 3.0L EcoBoost; hence, it is prone to more carbon build-up.
So is there a real reason why EcoBoost engines like the 2.7L and 3.5L (Gen2) are DPI? On the DPI engines, the PI is only used on cold start or until the engine reaches optimal temperature, then it switches over and uses DI. Did Ford only do this to improve the EPA rating?
Given the 3.0L EcoBoost engine is a DI design, it makes me think I might need that catch can mod.

Is the catch can a real fix or just an expensive band-aid? I wonder why Ford is not advocating it?
Who wants to pay for a timing job every 100k miles? Is Walnut shell blast cleaning a viable option?
This and all other mods fall into the Total Cost of Ownership (5 yrs).
