Ecoboost is Ford speak for turbocharged, direct injected, pretty common in smaller vehicles these days. Power costs fuel, the advantage is not having to operate a bunch more machinery when you don't need the power. I own a DI turbo from another make. They are no different.
I thought the Ecoboost engines were twin turbos. That would make a difference.
That said, our 16 Taurus will squeal the tires, and that is with a plain 3.5.
Single, twin. Same thing. Twin turbos are mainly used to shorten spool up time and give better throttle response, not necessarily to produce more power.
