you either misquoted your source, never driven an eco-boost or likely both.

You're right, I misread. The turbo is actually 0.1 seconds faster to 60mph and 0.1 seconds faster in the quarter mile. My brother has one, my neighbor has one, a couple friends do too. They've seemed like other trucks to me: press pedal, move out. They're nice, I just haven't seen anything compelling about the performance and fuel to say it's worth the extra upfront and maintenance costs. Everyone believes they're both stronger and more fuel efficient, but they're neither. More expensive for the same outcome...where's the upside?
