what's the difference between eco-boost crap and plain old turbocharged?

Marketing plays a part in it sure (the term "ecoboost" does give you a warm & fuzzy "hug the earth" feeling right?) but the turbocharging technology has advanced so much since the days of the finicky, peaky turbocharging days of the 80's that it hardly can be called just that.

Beside "two tiny turbos" just doesn't sound sexy does it?
