A2Mac1.com, It's a benchmarking site that does full teardowns on vehicles. The company i work for finds the subscription to be beneficial to our engineering department, so i have an account through that.
Im not sure what other sort of information they have but do they have any specs on the turbo thats used?

You could get under and measure the heights of the vents and electric motors that would not like to be drowned. But, that would not account for splashing. Another problem with dirty water is the dirt will get into every crevice and stay there. We had a employee drive in a flooded wash and leave it in overnight. The car was so full of mud that the wrecker had to use a flatbed because the weight of the dirt still in the car bottomed out the car and it wouldnt roll. The hood was so full of dirt in every crevice that it was very very heavy. We see this every monsoon season in AZ. Most vehicles are totaled after a deep water rescue. And we have a stupid motorist law that says if you drive in to a flooded wash and the fire dept has to rescue you then you get a citation, and if you have kids in the car then it can escalate to child endangerment. So, The guy that said get a boat (or three lol) is right even in the desert.

In the good ol USA, if you drive into 30 inches of raging water and get swept away, you sue the manufacturer of the truck, in Europe and other parts of the world they say you're stupid, not our problem.
