Turbos make all the diesel owners proud. :) Without them the oil burners would be the wheezing pigs they used to be.
Personally, I'd like to see Ford add a couple of cylinders to the 3.5 and make a 4.6 ecoboost. With 15# of boost it would have the sea level performance (and gas consumption) of the old 460 at any elevation while maintaining the unloaded economy of a small block.
Why on earth would you want to downgrade to the HP of a 460? The Ecoboost makes 100 to 150 more HP then that old boat anchor. In fact the Ecoboost already makes more HP then almost any big block ever put in a truck.
