Leaking between turbo and manifold...bolts are tight
#27
Hmm... not many knew about that S2000 kit. Got a spy in here or something? j/k
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?

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.
