I don't know enough about boosted engines, Thats why i don't comment on alot of these post.

MAYBE!, some people should try my theory.

I do so that's why I post. You can put much larger turbos on engines and still keep factory driveability or near factory driveability and spool and improve efficiency. These turbos may be able to keep up with the little tuning we can do now but we are at the edge of their efficiency range so they can't make all the boost this engine could ever handle. We have yet to see what kind of boost this engine can handle.

This is what I guess I was looking to hear, and kind of what I Was wondering. I feel like with an exhaust, intake and tune the turbos are maxed out. I want to basically have an ecoboost that puts out about the same power as if I had a 6.2 and Put a supercharger on that.

You hit the nail on the head, there. I'm nearly certain the the Livernois 93v2 tune max's out the stock turbos. Larger turbos will allow you to not only make more power at the same boost level through efficiency and reduced exhaust pressure, but will also be able to achieve even more power by raising the boost further since the stock turbos are at choke.

The Livernois 93v2 tune and exhaust is making in the neighborhood of 500 hp at the crank. I think another 50-100 hp is a reasonable expectation with upgraded turbo's.

That hp estimate is a little high IMO.

With better/bigger turbo(s) we will be able to find the limits of this engine's internals!

Not so sure! its going to be that easy they will have to be big turbos

From my visit to Full Race and a tour of their shop and seeing the Eco-boost compared to a Nissan GTR block. We are going to have to push this motor beyond 750+ HP before we start seeing parts fly.

Which one? It takes a lot of power to push 6000 lb to 103 mph in the quarter.
