Fyi if you have had the issue with the condensate check your plugs for this!!! My truck did this to 3 plugs before a coil change fixed the problem. Seems when the truck has this issue the coils go easy 
. $40 from rock auto and good as new. Fyi this took a while to track down... but i assure you if you have had the condensate issue you need to check your plugs. Once the coil goes bad it seems as though the problem occurs easier on each subsequent time.... this happened about 6 months ago problem free since hope to help someone with the same issue. I had to move the coil around checking with the tq app on my tablet to see where the problem was... it was 100% fine at wide open throttle but under high boost low rpm it missed like obamas health care plan :/
For what it's worth I have cleaned my intercooler with acetone and still had problems. Look at your plugs and replace bad coils. Never drilled any holes I don't feel it's the problem. Don't have a pic of the 3rd plug but it's the same

Yes and gap at .030. I've reduced mine to .028 and it seems like fuel mileage has gone down. It is critical to only torque to 11 ft/lbs or 133 in/lbs. My dealer ruined a set by over torquing. They said it was to prevent spark plug blow out. I corrected them in that it is SPARK blow out that can be an Ecoboost problem and that has to do with the gap..

Ordered plugs from dealer today 5.37 a piece. Hopefully it smooths it out. I love the truck and don't want to get rid of it yet. I was under the impression these were good motors. Do the plugs come gaped to .030

Close enough.
When I put a tuner on I checked and gapped to 0.030
