GEN 2 Chance of an Ecoboost 5.0?

[DrumReaper]

FL3Z-6K775-B.
Same intercooler with the "out" side at the bottom of the cooler. This is a design flaw that helps suck up the condensate.
FYI - there is already a complaint showing up in the threads today for misfire.

Just trying to help you guys out. I have several years of painful experience with the ecoboost. Just trying to help.

Help us out how?... I was able to confirm the number you gave and it is correct. That doesn't mean this engine will have the issues you are declaring.

I have had nothing but ecoboost F150s since 2011 and nary an engine problem.

We shall see how it goes.

It will pop up.... the 15/16 people are already complaining of it.

There's better solutions than drilling a hole in a perfectly good intercooler if that would be the case but until I have an issue I'm not going looking for one.

The outlet is still near the bottom but, they don't look the same.

I have had no experience with the condensation buildup so far. Full-Race makes the FMIC relocate kit and says this about the condensation buildup:

"In high humidity or rainy environments, the stock intercooler position can lead to condensation water building-up inside the stock cooler. Upon sudden acceleration and boost, this water can be introduced into the engine causing a misfire event. If you have experienced this often, we recommend using a mechanical vent-to-atmosphere BOV (blow-off valve) on the lower charge pipe, after the intercooler. These can help evacuate moisture from the charge air stream before it enters the engine’s throttle body."

I would rather do this than drill a hole in the intercooler.

Drill the hole!!! Build the wall!!!

Why not just drill a larger hole then weld a tapped tube end to it so it can be completely sealed off again after periodically draining the water? That youtube video was scary. That was a lot of water.
