My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
So I saw a guy post pictures of his Ranger on my local offroad park's FB page today. I commented and invited him to join us here and on our FB page. Now, just a minute ago, I see that the park owner posted a picture of him.

I guess he has a 2.9l in it.

Actually, in the photos he posted, there was evidence of twin turbos on something.

Could be a EB...

Custom twin setup is probably intercooled so lots of hoses to fail and make smoke without putting a piston into orbit.
