2.- What brands of intake and exhaust do you recommend me?

3.- This kind of engine suplir a turbo?

Thanks flor your answers!

1. No

2. Lexus has an intake but none add much hp

3. Honestly, the cheapest way to make power on a 250 is to just upgrade to the 350.

Welcome! You'll enjoy the ride a lot.
My answer is pretty much the same.

1. There is no working ECU.
2. I would recommend the F-Sport intake just because of the look. There is no performance gain.
3. If you wanted more power.... then you shouldn't have chosen the 250 lol. Either get the 350, or wait for a supercharger that'll cost just about the difference of a 250 and 350.

Unless you're going to the tracks, 250 is more than enough for normal use, even for passing.
I'm loving mine so far.

I agree with the other's who have posted. It seems you're already wanting more power. If you're concerned with power, you shouldn't be buying a 250 - you should be buying the 350.

Based on his location, no IS 350 in Peru.

@Juanka - You're limited to 5-10 hp more with a proper intake and exhaust. You can check the Performance subforum above for plenty of intake and exhaust options for you to then research on availability in your country. Good luck and enjoy your IS 250 F Sport!

I guess the roads in Lima are way better than here in Montreal and you can use more power, in my area the IS250 has more than enough power...
