    True the SHO was also Yamaha design, great engine. But I always remember hearing the GN heads were Yamaha design. Hmm been a long time I could have confused them. But great cars/engines.

    All I saw was that the 4G turbo is water cooled. How it's done wasn't specified.

    Maybe you are thinking of ASC/McLaren with the GNX?

    The Tundra has that feature. I assume the Tacoma will have it as well.
