Eco-Boost has a twin spool turbine, some say it's not reliable

Diesel engines from all manufacturers have had twin spool turbines for 20+ years (some now have variable vane turbines but they also use "oil cooled bearings) and some people say nothing is more reliable than a diesel.

Hmmmmm

BTW, try replacing a turbine on a diesel. $10K to get a rebuilt one installed, $15K for a new OEM turbine.

Yes, if either an EcoBoost or a diesel turbine "goes for lunch" it's going to be expensive.
