GEN 2 Chance of an Ecoboost 5.0?

[NASSTY]

They are still problematic- specs are still the same

I haven't seen enough complaints on 2015+ ecoboosts yet to believe there's still a problem. But if there still is an issue with condensation build up it's more apt to happen in humid climates. I live in a non humid climate and have never had the condensation issue in the 3.5 years that I owned my 2011 Ecoboost or in the 2.5 years that I owned my 2014 Ecoboost.
However I'll agree that the 1/16" weep hole will not cause any harm.

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.

You're better off with a 1/16" hole and letting it drain as it accumulates. In the video that water was collecting for quite some time. That's why there was so much water when that guy finally drilled the hole. I've seen several people drill the hole but I've never seen that much water come out.

Could also be a fake video...

Doesn't matter, neither is gonna happen.

I hope not too. it doesn't need any more weight up front. But 6 years ago who ever thought it would have a ttv6? Sure would be awkward driving "unicorns" after we said they never existed, and pretending this topic never came up.On the other hand, maybe the hybrid idea aint so bad. A little weight in the rear and torque that will make you swallow your tounge. Come on future....

Sign me up for one of those unicorns if they come out. I'll happily eat crow if it happens. I think the only way it happens is if CAFE standards are loosened or abolished though.

these people have clearly never spent hours checking clamps to try to find a teeny tiny boost leak somewhere in the system lol

yup, they are taking a HACK way of "fixing" something but creating another problem.
its on the internet so it must be the right way of fixing it.

The possibilities are endless.

A lot of people did. SDHQ built one back in 2011. And the rumors of the pending ecoboost switch drove a lot of guys to get off the fence and buy a Gen 1.
