Yes they did,they made single and twin turbo kits.
BEGi also made twin turbo kits for the NSX for a while and a prototype S2000 turbo kit,but it never went into production.
You would be suprised in how many makes and models BEGi has added superchargers & turbochargers to.

We also made Honda, BMW, sentra, and protege kits too. Custom kits have include a Toyota 4 runner, F350 diesel, Pantera, BMW's and a few other. My personal fav was the pantera and BMW Z3.

Is the BMW Z3 kit still in production or is it discontinued?

I can't even remember the color of the S2000 car, so you are doing better than me!
The BMW Z3 kit was sold to Cartech when the businesses split. I seriously doubt they are doing anything with it now. Corky could re-design the system or make a new one for the Z4.

Stephanie,it's a shame the S2000 turbo kit did not go into production,it was a very well made kit and looked OEM when installed.
I have a friend that has a Z3 M roadster that he is considering adding fored induction to,he's looking around for options.

If they're flat, put some heavy grease on the two surfaces and bolt it back up. My manifold NEEDED to be surfaced. I literally used a file to get it decent, then heavy grease, bolted that **** together, and after the grease burned and carbon'd up, no more leak. My turbo bolts aren't very very tight either. Just snugged good, probably 20 ft*lbs.

Things have changed quite a bit since I made this post years ago, and things are much sweeter now. I tried the grease in desperation at the track and after than and a few other failed attempts "we" determined it was relaxing hardware.
The current prescription are TrackSpeed Inconel studs and bolts, this seems to work fine on track-tested cars, I believe there are no failures even on the cars that for lack of a better phrase "do not **** around" on the track. I think an inconel gasket is the best case scenario, but they aren't readily available though TwinsTurbo may put one together for you.
