EB Turbos!

I know many of you looking at the EB aren't looking to modify it, but I found this and loved it. I hope the EB i get will one day have turbo's this pronounced! The actual exhaust note I'm not a huge fan of, but hearing those turbo's I am a fan of. I absolutely never get tired of hearing them in the PSD's at work.. especially as they spool up and down!

The exhaust note IMO has a slight 6 cylinder diesel sound to it. Either way tho that turbo while never gets old.

Ford or whoever they gave these motors too must have done two completely different setups on the EB. In this vid they are two very different sounds to the trucks..

Definitely a different sound to the FX4. Can't really hear the turbos spool up like the XL. Still sounds cool either way.

The red FX4 was the truck with the factory engine in it from all the testing. The ecoboost in the silver truck could have been modified...

For some reason I was thinking that it was the other way around.

Edit: I'm retarded, considering the FX4 says Torture Test on the side.

The Ecoboost sounds like and looks like the illegitimate love child of a Cummins and a Subaru WRX. Think about it this way. The EB got it's daddy's number of cylinders and torque curve, burns the same fuel and can scream like Mommy, both have turbos, and and V engine is halway between an inline and horizontally opposed engine. Weird!

That's actually a good way of putting it my neighbors both have Subaru WRX's and I can't stand the exhaust on those things, annoying as hell fits the description of a WRX exhaust.

I would imagine pretty soon. Some folks lucky enough to get into one early are already getting shipment notices.
