Default 2016 Lexus 200t future performance mods??

Anyone foresee Lexus or any companies releasing any cool hop ups for the turbo setup. Maybe cold air intake or free flowing exhaust??? Or even a tune?? Would love to see the turbo setup make some pretty decent numbers too the rear wheels??

Well the possibilities are endless I guess but it is all about market demand..

The AVERAGE Lexus owner doesn't buy the car to mod it. They buy it because they want a nice luxury car to drive around reliably.

But the aftermarket is good at addressing short comings. So I would bet boost controllers, BOVs or even larger turbos and intercoolers won't take long to arrive but they would most likely be low volume production and short lived at a price you don't want to pay or can't really afford after dropping so much on the new car.

10 or 15 yrs down the road would be another story though. When warrenty is long gone and the car has depriciated enough people aren't afraid to mess with it.
