there's essentially none, and i can tell you the reason for that.

The camshafts and cylinder head design on the ecoboost does not lend itself to spooling a large turbo. It works better with smaller turbos and spools them very very quickly.

you would need to port the cylinder head to spool a large turbo better.

Any good shop could port the heads. Or you could send them off to get extrude honed.

They can do it, but there's still no turbos aside from custom.

And there's zero camshafts available to help facilitate that. There ARE camshafts with larger fuel lobes, but there's no more aggressive ones.

Seriously? All those cams only change the HPFP lobe? Waste....
