Installing a BOV or BOV Adaptor on the 2.3 Ecoboost Ranger does not hurt the performance of the vehicle at all. There is no extra wear on the turbo or any increased turbo lag, that is a very common misconception however that is absolutely NOT the case with these vehicles.
No check engine light or loss of performance is caused by using this blow off valve adaptor. Running our BOV adaptor will not effect the fuel trim or throw a code for a couple of different reasons. The biggest reason is due to the way Ford tunes their USDM turbocharged cars. The USDM Ecoboost engines are MAP tuned which does not use the MAF sensor to meter the outgoing air which is discharged when the vehicle releases boost. Whereas in the rest of the world they use MAF tuning instead. This changes the way the ECU meters air going into the motor. In a MAF tuned car, the fuel trims would be affected by venting to atmosphere, however on a MAP tuned car like yours, the ECU is not affected by venting to atmosphere. In short, you've got nothing to worry about!
All of the USDM spec Ford Rangers use MAP tuning for the ECU where the vehicle doesn't care if you vent to atmosphere or not; however on non-USDM spec Rangers, the vehicle uses MAF tuning which is much more sensitive to a vehicle venting to atmosphere.
