I wonder how power bands compare?With the current cost of the 2.3 Ecoboost powertrain, even one from a salvage yard, AND the cost of the Ford control pack, a traditional 2.3 turbo would be much more affordable for most people.
$1650 for just the control pack: https://www.cjponyparts.com/ford-performance-engine-control-pack-2-3l-4v-dohc-ecoboost-crate-engine-2015-2017/p/M601723T/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzMfW6LfO4wIVRdbACh2djgP9EAYYASABEgKslvD_BwE
2.3 EB direct injected with a twin scroll turbo vs a 2.3 Duratec IDI with a single turbo. As more donors hit lots the prices will come down.
