I'm certain GM used a cheap piece of crap but I applaud their thinking and will be curious if Toyota follows them.

I am sure every manufacturer has a water cooled turbo. What kills a Turbo is if the oil supply is cut off as it is spooling down.

Only a few have ELECTRIC water pumps and GM has the only trucks that I'm aware of that has them. I'm far from an expert but I agree that oil supply is also very important.
