Op- it won't do anything to clean your valves and that's the problem area. You don't need anything to clean your injectors due to the fuel pressure spraying so high on an Lnf. You do however need to keep your valves clean as they get gummed up quickly and coarse the car to not run as good. You can pull the intake and walnut blast them or you can let the ports soak with carbon cleaner, then scrape them with pics. That's about your only options.

Check out LNF valve gunk thread on here, there's how to for a diy project. If you do it take some before and after shots and look into Powells oil separator

if u mean for cleaning gunked valves, no seafoam doesn't work. spraying meth slows it down, but also doesn't work. you need to walnut blast ur valves. and get the powell v3 oil separator. then ur valves wont see any more oil, and you wont have any more issues

The only other option is to routinely clean the valves.

Catch Can wouldn't work properly on his Kia either.. the reason a catch can does not work on our cars is because of the high boost levels. So basically the air just blows thru the catch can because there is not a proper filter.
With the Kia it would be a similar issue. The best way is a oil separator because it uses a proper filtration and the boost level will not effect it.

Has to do with particle size and the speed of the oil particles. Our engines generate a pretty good mist, most boosted applications do. The basic catch can is nothing other than a knock out, which for fine particles works like ****.

Why are there people on here who know what they're talking about say the oil separator or catch can is a necessity unless you want to be cleaning your valves every so often? It seems like an easy upgrade and well worth it if you want more power and engine efficiency...

An oil separator works wonderful, I have the first version of Powell's Air/Oil Separator on my LNF. The reason everyone says you should get Powells is because it's a proper setup designed to remove oil particulates. If there are people recommending a catch can, just walk away. Almost all catch can makers sell a freaking metal pipe with ends welded on with an inlet and outlet and if you're lucky a little sight tube. A catch can works like ass on an LNF and will not catch anything. Which is what my post said.
