This.It won't be an issue till 15 years and probably 150k miles. When you try to one repair and break a plastic coolant T fitting cause you looked at it wrong...Even the 2.3 isn't "simple" like an old school N/A port fuel injected vehicle.
That's a LOT of hoses and vacuum line that will probably get brittle in several years with the underhood heat of turbos.
Having owned a turbo Rx7, I am very well versed (cursed?) in the joys of vacuum lines and heat.
Converting the turbos to non-sequential cleans this up a bit.
I used to impress my friends by popping the hood after a "spirited" drive and showing them the glowing turbos.
Man, I loved that car. Man, I hated that car.
Electronic management and control has come a long way since the early 90's, but I still have flashbacks when I see this diagram.
Hopefully Ford is using silicone instead of rubber and better heat management.
