This is going to seriously hurt the Ecoboost reputation across the board, the 3.5 is not issue-free either.

Looks like aftermarket intercooler will be one of my first mod considerations when I get my Focus ST with the 2.0 Ecoboost, although I haven't read/heard of any issues with this particular EB motor in the ST or the Fusion yet.

The 2.0 is solid. It's even in the Taurus now.
