Default BW-AirWerks develops Turbo Highlander Hybrid

If you don't think your Toyota Highlander Hybrid is fast enough, try adding a turbocharger. The AirWerks program at BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems has developed a turbo in partnership with Toyota for the Highlander Hybrid. Early testing shows a 20 percent power increase. The K24.2 turbo is specifically designed for the Highlander application. It features a forged billet compressor wheel, ni-resist turbine housing and a water-cooled bearing housing.

Nice. Now we need specs.

Top mounted intercooler?

Must have had to do something partially with the way to get the plumbing right for a front mounted intercooler underneath. I have seen one Highlander Hybrid down here and it looked a lot similar to my RX in terms of having that potential issue.
