um, no its not. my statement is from the ford techs at the dealer I bought mine from. not knocking the motor. The turbo charger doesnt give constant boost throughout the entire rpm range. it does its best work in the lower end and then its help falls off (look at the horsepower graphs, im not making this crap up). yes it has lots of power and pulls fine BUT when you get to the top and are at crusing speed with that load the turbo is no longer a factor and you have a V6. can you kcik it down a few gears and make the turbo a factor again, YES. my statement is very much the truth, try again
