The 5.0 TWIN turbo ecoboost....now there's an engine even a bike guy can like! Who am I kidding, I love my 3.5. TT.
It's a hot running engine for sure. Here's some pics:

Ford is sticking with their solution for managing the turbo-lag....notice how tiny the exhaust headers into the turbo are but how huge the exhaust is past the waste gates. They have a LOT of heat load to shed but it's a nicely laid out engine, even if the headers are a bit long.
OK, any guesses on which end is the front? I first thought the intercooler was in front but looking at the "back", it looks like the top edge of the water pump so maybe isn't "backwards"?
Either way...nice, very nice!
