[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 15665129, member: 46336"] Simpler engine = simpler life I still have friends at Ford and the Ecoboosts tend to eat turbos in higher mileage situations. They also decimate timing guides/chains/tensioners over time. It's the consequence of turbocharging a V6 and pushing it. It's a reality that in any turbo vehicle that the seals are going to give way to entropy, and the engine will wear. Especially when you know that Ford's tests are done in perfect conditions with the oil change every 3-5k. The average owner isn't nearly that particular about intervals. Therefore -> More wear and tear [/QUOTE]
