Any step by step guides to removing the bumper cover to access the stock ic/chargepipes on an ecoboost?
removing the bumper cover on ecoboost?

I haven't seen any yet, but I'll ask around.
We haven't had any 2015s come through but most covers are the same. Undue all the screws or tabs attached to the cover from the inside of the inner wheel-well and the ones in the engine bay, and possibly some on the underside. Once those are out gently pull the bumper where it meets the fenders as there should be a tab there that snaps into the bumper brackets on each side. Most brands have pretty durable tabs except Hyundais, they tear all the time if you're not careful which means you need a new bumper after that unless you have a plastic welder but they'll be compromised basically. Fords are pretty durable though so you shouldn't have to worry about it tearing. And that's basically it. The bumper should come off after that, and then just disconnect the fog lights before or after.
Again, I haven't seen the 2015s yet but I'm pretty sure it's going to be the same construction they've always used and what every manufacture uses to some degree, and VWs are overly complicated of course. It's really simple though.

Good find. It looks a bit more complicated than the S197, but not too bad.
