What else should an Ecoboost go in?

Well, we know the Ecoboost is going in these vehicles -
F-150 - 3.5 liter V-6 T/T
Taurus SHO - 3.5 liter V-6 T/T
Edge - 2.0 liter I-4 turbo --> Corrected this. got confused by the NA 3.5 liter... I didnt even know Ford had a NA 3.5.
Flex - 3.5 liter V-6 T/T
Taurus (2012) - 2.0 liter I-4 Turbo
Explorer - 2.0 liter I-4 Turbo
Focus S/T (2012) - 2.0 liter I-4 turbo
Fiesta (2012) - 1.0 liter 3 cylinder turbo
So what's that leave out?
Fusion, Mustang, Escape, Expedition, Ranger, Transit Connect, E-Series, F-Super Duty
I think they don't have them in these vehicles yet because they don't have enough production to make enough for all of them.
Except the F-Super Duty, they'd need larger displacement Ecoboosts for them. Super Duty will probably be the last to get one, most likely based on the 5.0 in my opinion.
I would love to see a marine edition Ecoboost and also a crate motor Ecoboost - They're designed to run under constant boost if they have to, and it's pretty rare that you see a boat run under full throttle for more than a few minutes anyway. Who's got that much money for fuel?

I was hoping they would put the 3.5 Eco in the Fusion and make it AWD....I read that they were talking about it, but never really actually did it. Also read that they were thinking about the 2.0 Eco in the new Fusion....I guess we just have to wait and see!!

I don't think you understand, cruising at speed my seamaxx marine cruises about 3000 rpm. You would need a lotta extra water cooling to cool the intercooler and the turbo. I still don't like the idea. Big rigs and your ecoboost are not under constant load like a marine engine.
I don't see what the issue would be to turbo charge marine engines, they are already supercharging outboard motors, The Mercury Verado, which is a 4stroke outboard, been out for 2 years minimal, no issues at all, if your worried about heat n all, this is the last year for sterndrive's to be without cats, all new ones have to have cats due to emission standards, plus aftermarket companies, are offering supercharge kits for the inboards..
It can be done
