This two change system has been previously described in the forums, I believe in the www.f150ecoboost.net forum with very detailed information provided by RMB_Ryan who is a supporting member and avid engine builder.

Thanks for the link, reading through and adding more detail to the wikipedia page. Awesome seeing these photos; I enjoy a teardown with high res photos so I can see all of the engineering going into these modern engines.

I agree the addition of port injection alone seems like a great reason to get a gen2 EcoBoost.
