What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[General_Vodka]

Paid $419. Merge pipe is metal, if you are referring to the dark grey pipe going to the throttle body. not familiar with the term

Where the blow off valves sit.

Just edited my post, I believe it is plastic. Would have to check next time I'm in there.

I want to say there was some discussion about this a while back. If I remember correctly, the older builds had metal and they switched to plastic at some point. I’ll see if I can find the thread.

I wonder if it was for performance or cost savings.

Also what's up with your merge pipe? Is it plastic?? Or am I just seeing things?
Edit : no it's for sure different than mine. View attachment 40370

Starting with MY 2019 some Stinger GT have the plastic merge pipe. I owned 2 model year 2019 and 1 had the metal merge pipe while the other had the plastic one.

Does anyone know if someone makes a CCV oil catch can for the 2.0t? I’m planning on adding the PCV catch can but would like to do the whole system.

Today gas is stupid cheap, streets are empty, drove it like I stole it and had a blast, I'm liking my social distancing driving evenings.

Looks like a combination of belt rubber stuck to oil vapour/road grime.
Do you have any oil spotting under your car?

No oil.

No oil.

That’s good, well it’s probably like I stated in my first sentence, the area doesn’t appear “wet”.
You have a photographic record now so I would wipe it all off, clean the area & monitor it & check every week for change.

What am I looking at? "Started"? Everything looks in place (to my unknowing eyes).

I say started because I have only 1 corner done with the install of the ARK DTP coilovers. Plus I am taking my time dialing everything as perfect as I want it.
