That is not a normal operation mode for ANY engine. And nowhere in any Ecoboost owner's manual does it say to "pour cleaner in the intake". You can safely pour whatever you like as far as additives in the gas tank.
So therefore doing something outside the normal operating mode and experiencing failure is not a defect or even an issue to concern yourself with.
Don't use things like Seafoam, Berrymans, etc in the intake and you will have nothing to worry about. Plenty have hydrolocked their engines with Seafoam through the master cylendar vaccuum line. But those don't make cool headlines for you.
Where is this "proof" that EB's are regularly spitting cats and puking turbos when driven and used as intended?
As my removed comment said, this looks like a troll, walks like a troll, and grunts like a troll.
I'm really not sure why you feel you must resort to personal insult. I don't work for Ford, nor for any of its competitors. I haven't owned a Ford vehicle in decades.
As stated in the video, there are problems with Ecoboost. Not sure why this affects you the way it appears to.
I view the information shared as valuable to those who presently own Ecoboost, or are considering purchase.
