There are several bulletins on issues with that motor. (only 3 years usage in USA)
1 bulletin pertains to "burnt valves"
others point to issues with oil in wiring harness.
also a service campaign to replace the crankcase breather hoses.
AND yes that engine does have a TRUE PCV valve that must close under boost OR oil will be pressured into the engine & also into the air intake area & damage the air mass sensor.
