No, people trying to justify the engine they bought don't like other engines. Boost is boost in my opinion. I would love to see an Ecoboost 5.0. The problem is that would require a redesign of the block to incorporate the CG design that the 3.5 has.
People have been putting boost on these engines with great success. Procharger, blower, and now turbo. Just goes to show how stout the 5.0 is that it can take the additional stress without CG blocks. Elitism gets old after a while. I see it on here a lot with people buying both the 5.0 and 3.5TT. Just don't understand why you can't be happy with what you bought.

Look at the block portion on there. It's CGI, not CG. My mistake. It's basically a design brought over from the diesel world to handle the load while keeping the weight down.

So does that turbo kit have everything but the intercooler and piping, or is it all included for that price?
