I heard about this too, olddog. I have mixed feelings about the Ecoboost. Ford's going European style with small boosted engines while GM is doing the warmed over pushrod 4/6/8. That idea was used in early 80's Cadillac Seville's. Worst car/engine my dad said he ever had. Ran poorly. 60k miles and caught fire in the dealer lot returning it from the lease. I'm sure they've got it perfected but I have to question GM's long game strategy. In the long run I think Ford will be ahead of the game but it appears there's teething issues.
On an added note, I've heard the Ecoboost can build carbon. Wouldn't the water in the fuel burn off the carbon like spraying water into a carb?
