Idle calibration for ecoboosts, and corrects the calculation for certain emissions codes so they don't come on as easily on all engines

It -seems- that my ecoboost doesn't smoke as bad anymore on startup, but I've not really had a chance to check it recently.

Stuff i'm not totally sure of -
the engine seems louder, especially under load, and it seems to accelerate faster. I have no way of testing this.

also i think that the MyKey system now allows the radio volume to be maxed out when using a bluetooth phone, pretty sure it was limited to 45% before (Regular radio is still limited to 45%, though)

Thanks.
But I think I will pass for now anyway. I don't want to chance it just for the gear shift display.

My engine doesn't seem any louder, and at idle it seems quieter. I will agree that the power curve seems different now, more responsive to throttle input. I thought it was just me.

My gear indicator never stayed up, if I hit the + button 2 times it just turned back off before.

MPG is exactly the same as before. Throttle just seems to respond faster.
~17 MPG at 75 MPH
~21 MPG at 65 MPH
~23 MPG at 55 MPH

I can't really answer that, as my driving changes alot. But in what I consider my worst driving scenario, short trips at high speed, it hasn't changed at all. Matter of fact I'm getting better with my Eco than a co-worker is with his 5.0, and he should be doing much better due to a 20 mile each way commute with some nice highway cruising. My drive is 4.5 miles each way, with a 2 mile hit at 70 before the truck is warm.
