Who knows. That's the million dollar question everyone wants to know. I know that with just a tuner that I pushed my truck to hard at Snoball. Seals and a possible cracked torque converter being done now. Thats $2200.00 minimum. If I didn't have the warranty, that would be pretty expensive. And I bet you money that Ford will have some serious technology in the ECU to monitor guys messing with the basics to protect themselves. Turbos are REALLY expensive to replace. Like $3k - $4k expensive. Each. That could add up pretty quickly......
Ford has been super **** about warranting catastrophic damage for the current ecoboost engines after they've been tuned. I imagine they won't change policy for the gen2 Eco.
But like Wilson already said, the 6.2 was breaking other things before it was breaking. The driveshafts will twist up like a pretzel and I know my transmission loses the battle and gets hot when push comes to shove Offroad. I need a cooler pretty bad.

Especially on a truck that they know, by coming here and looking around, that we all mess with a little. I know some guys have done some over the top stuff with these things, but if I tuned it and added a CAI on it and some other stuff and they denied me for that, I'd be driving a bow-tie the next week!

A tuned 6.2 is easier to sneak by as they have very few problems and not constantly on Fords radar.

an obvious Whipple might throw a red flag
Yeah that might attract some attention haha
All I know is that I had an early ecoboost F150 that had turbo several turbo failures leaving me stranded in suburbia. It took a ton of effort to get Ford to cover the repairs on a BONE stock truck... I'd hate to try getting warranty work done with modified turbos, tune, etc.
With that said, I know they have improved everything about the ecoboost since it was released. I can only hope that they will become more relaxed when it comes to warranty work on this new one. Especially knowing how some of these trucks will be ran.

In the article I posted about ethanol there was a statment about having surgery in the 70s compared to now. Things has evolved.
