    I haven't read all the posts, in the beginning most people dodged the answer but here are my thoughts. I was also hesitant about the eco boost engine with a turbo. I bought 2019 Lariat because there weren't many to choose from at the time. Why did I buy this vehicle if I had any doubts, good...

    Im no mechanic for sure. My thinking was, the fact that it is burning so clean the turbo fins are probably cleaner and hopefully the blowby is not very sooty which would also help.
