Nope and I don't very seriously that you'll ever see one. All other issues aside, there's not much room in the S2000's engine bay to design a twin turbo set up. Why does it matter... one turbo and almost 400 hp at the crank not good enough?

Man! They took a Diablo, ripped out its awesome motor then stuffed in a twin turbo Viper motor.

Not knocking the Viper, but 12 is cooler than 10.

Just remember though, most supras that make serious power ditch the twins and go for a single turbo setup.

This is done because one big turbo is cheaper than two. Ideal way to build a Supra motor for big power and good response is have two big turbos for mid to high end and an Eaton supercharger for the low end that disengages at a certain engine rpm. And yes, this has been done on a Skyline GTR before. Engine made over 1000hp.

I would think the biggest knock against two is our already-high compression. The existing kits have to be right up near the limit without doing major engine work (re-sleeve, swap pistons, and ?) followed by something unique in the way of drivetrain upgrades. Now if you're talking about those kind of major mods then maybe two would be good. But for the price of all that I'd be buying a different car.
