I’ve heard about Precision too! Just remember that depending on the model you choose, installation might become tricky without a professional.
That’s true, fholmes! I installed a Precision Turbo myself, and you’ll need a decent set of tools and some mechanical know-how. Not for the faint-hearted!

For those looking for aftermarket support, make sure to check out Roush. They have a reputation for good components that work well with EcoBoost engines!
Exactly! Roush also offers some good tuning packages, which can really optimize your turbo upgrade!
I’ve been considering upgrading too! How do these options affect fuel economy? I don’t want to lose too much mileage.
Good question, torresdenise! Generally, if tuned well, a good turbo upgrade can maintain or even improve fuel efficiency while providing more power. Just avoid heavy foot syndrome!
I would like to know if anyone has experience with installing a Garrett turbo. I’ve heard they are reliable but a bit pricey.

Garrett is definitely a premium brand! They have a solid reputation, but the installation can be challenging. Make sure you’re up for it!
I’ve seen some mixed reviews about using eBay turbos. Anyone ever tried them? I’m curious how they perform long-term.

I would be cautious with eBay options. You often get what you pay for, and they can cause issues down the line!
I think we should all remember that performance upgrades should be balanced with reliability. It’s easy to get carried away with power, but I want my car to remain dependable.

To add to that, just ensure any turbo you choose fits your vehicle’s specifications. Compatibility issues can lead to costly problems later!
On a lighter note, I’m just worried my car won’t look cool without that flashy turbo badge! Can’t have a turbo without showing it off, right?
I’m looking into upgrading my 3.5 EcoBoost too! I’ve heard that upgrading the intercooler can drastically improve performance. What do you all think?
Definitely! A better intercooler can help with heat management, which is crucial after a turbo upgrade.
Don’t forget about a quality tune! It can optimize the performance after any hardware upgrade.
A tune is critical! But who do you recommend for tuning the 3.5 EcoBoost?
For tuning, I suggest checking out guys like Livernois or SCT. They have great options for the EcoBoost.
I’ve had great luck with my current setup after a turbo upgrade, but I always keep an eye on oil levels. That’s super important for reliability!
Agreed! Regular maintenance can’t be overlooked, especially after mods.
