Judging by the only dyno chart I've seen which is from Motor Trend (not the most credible source for figures, I know), the 2.3 Ecoboost seems to run out of steam at high rpm at a pretty noticeable rate. However, judging by my experience with a 2.3L engine with a medium/small twin scroll turbo, I'm guessing that it could be mitigated effectively with intake/exhaust mods and a reflash. Hopefully, exhaust mods for the 2.3L Ecoboost will be cheaper than on the GT, since it's only got one bank of cylinders and turbo cars don't need mufflers.

MS3 with off the shelf Cobb AP 93 octane map, catted turboback exhaust, intake/turbo inlet, but the same old K04 turbo:
