Less...agree and say Ford has done an admiral job of it with their EcoBoost...but...
Us boy racers knew and understood about forced fed since our teens. Turtle is an expert 'cuz he does/did that for a living
Always knew it would take an educated OEM to produce a reliable ICE that was force fed 2x-3x or more air/fuel into such a small package
Castings must be way thicker and with bosses/etc everywhere.
Piston oil cooling from spray nozzles from below
Higher rate thermal rejection systems for most all/anything to do with the whole ICE (block, heads, etc, etc, etc)
Because the surface areas needed to reject these much higher amounts of heat (temp, rate of changes, etc) has to have forced everything.
And to the PM...that guy is on my blocked list, so don't see his posts...yes, know of that coolant weeping (siphon) system...but it must not ever, ever has an air bubble in there or any kind of air leak. IMHO, not a solid design, but with higher risk than I'd design in
