If the EB does indeed have k04's, I'm pretty glad I passed on that engine option. In before the smoky turbo TSB

The turbos on the Ecoboost test engine had 160k miles on them with no issues so I ain't worried about it. My 06 F150 only had 27k miles when I git rid of it for my 11 so the chances of my 11 seeing over 160k miles while I own it are slim. I also have over 4.5 years of warranty left so I ain't paying if there is a failure.
