Not much confidence in Ford ECM

Not much confidence in Ford ECM
I have a '13 Ecoboost with Max Tow and HD payload. Since new, it has gotten 14 to 15 in mixed driving and 7 to 9 towing. I had it to the dealer early and they said "it's not broken in yet". Well 3 years later nothing has changed.
We were vacationing in the Redwoods and the computer threw a P102d code, over voltage on turbo inlet sensor.
I cleared it and it did not return on the rest of our trip. Exhaust pipe was totally coked up, pitch black.
I took it to the dealer and "no problem found" I bought the turbo inlet and maniforl MAP's from Amazon for about $50 and installed.
Mileage jumped up 2 MPG mixed driving. Haven't towed yet.
So much for Fords computer system.

The ECM/TCM system is pretty good. I would question the competency of the dealership.

Pretty much any dealer will not do anything unless a code is stored. I was way up in the redwoods many miles from a dealer when it coded. I cleared it to see if it would return. If it did, I would go to the local parts store and replace rather that driving a hundred miles and spending a day at a dealership. Spending $100 to have the dealer replace a $30 part under warranty is not good sense.
By the way, I'm a retired ASE mechanic.
The sad part is that Ford's ecm thinks running that rich is OK, I don't.
