The airbag did not deploy probably cos the impact wasn't hard enough?

I'm not sure about the Toyotas but the Volvos has very advance sensor system for their airbags. They have dual stage deployments whereby the airbag would either deploy 70% or 100% depending on the level of impact. Because they have more advance safety systems like SIPS and pre-tensioners to act as primary safety net, the airbag might not be required if the impact was not hard enough.

I've seen an XC90 crashing into the dividers at 110km+ and the airbag did not deploy. The driver fell asleep while driving on the highway, she fell asleep and the car basically rammed into the dividers, the fender was gone infact the drive shaft was broken (i think). The owner was walking and chatting away happily in the workshop when i met them.

Any recommendation for upgrading the 3SGE to boost the 177bhp?

yes it is. the 6GC itself is very rare, even less for the GT4, can literally forget about the BEAMS.

btw, does "BEAMS" stand for anything?

as you can tell, i'm still shopping for one. found a couple of units white and red ones but they were sold!!! one of them had leather seats inside!!!

177 bhp? cool. what can i do to upgrade the 3SGE?

Here's the picture. Look. No turbo pipes.

I'm living in KL now but my hometown's up north in Ipoh.

I don't think there are any GT4 AWD versions in Malaysia. Mostly are FWD 2.0 NA versions. And even that is rare.

how do you add a picture in here? have to point to a URL?

I'm from Malaysia and currently looking for the 6GC. I've been reading on the net about all the 2.0L version with turbo (bhp 220). But lately I found a couple of cars on the market WITHOUT turbo?

I haven't seen the car personally, only some pictures of it. They took a picture of the Engine block but I couldn't see any turbo pipes running on top of it. My understanding of turbo engines are limited so please excuse me if I got the technicalities wrong.

Most turbo engines I've seen has the turbo pipe running ON TOP of the engine block from the intercooler in the front of the car to all the way to the back (firewall) and down behind the engine block where the actual turbine is. Hence I was looking for the pipe in the picture and couldn't find it?

Can someone tell me if there is really a 2.0L verison in the market? And what are the specs of it? bhp, torque, gearbox (4/5 speed), etc.
