I don't mean to speak for FR or Geoff, but my theories are. . .
If it really is a condensation issue, then a more efficient intercooler and turbos will actually make it worse. I'm not completely convinced that it's a condensation issue, though, because many vehicles ran many years with similar IC's and never had a problem. Furthermore, many folks living in humid environments almost never have the problem, while others have it often and consistently.
Yes, but not for the reasons you might imagine. The larger turbocharger(s) will induce less exhaust pressure (drive pressure) at cruise speeds, thereby reducing pumping losses and improving mileage. Though the wheels may have higher efficiency, it's really the sizing that makes a difference.

funny you guys should bring this up. One of the targets for this project was to be able to mount a front winch on the ecoboost... that exact rough country winch and mount shows up friday!
ill get some photos of this truck posted up in the next 1-2 days everyone here is going nuts, probably our favorite project to ever come out of this shop... the fedex and UPS guys were drooling hardcore today. they didnt care about the R34 GTR or 997tt haha

Best thread I've read since I got my Eco last year! I was just in Phoenix the beginning of this month; wish I would have stopped in! I was thinking of trading my Eco for a diesel but this has changed my mind for sure, awesome work, sign me up!
And my first post.. Usually I just read.

hey geno - glad you guys could come by, real nice to meet you all. btw: about 2 hours later the truck fired up on the first keystroke. we have some finishing work to do before the show but on the final lap. part 3 needs a few more photos and a little video, few more days it will be ready
