Are LF-A's always gonna remain NA?
Do you think anyone is gonna try to put a supercharger or turbo on any of these?
If it does stay NA, is it impossible to gain anymore horsepower out of these cars considering how technically sensitive they are or I assume them to be?
Thanks for any input, I thought this an interesting topic to share.

That is the trade off. It will sound like a vaccum cleaner just like the Audi RS6 Lambo V10 TT does.
Throttle response, efficiency, ability to do several laps without going into limp mode and pure F1 sound are the advantages of naturally aspirated over turbo.
N/A is all about the purist experience of the most intimate level of connection with the car while turbo is mainly about extracting power from the engine that it is impossible without it.

p.s. The Gallardo doesn't sound too bad compared to stock when turbo'd

Got money The hardest part is cracking the Lexus ECU's which has proven to be pretty impossible for later model cars. We have seen twin turbo modified Lambos, Ferraris etc....
It will also take someone who wants to modify a very rare vehicle that might lose value modified.

Yup...if I owned an LFA, I would leave it in its purest form. Everything stays stock. I think it would be of disrespect to the engine builder and everyone involved in building that specific LFA to modify something that took 10 years of development.
Like Mike mentioned above...anyone who knows Toyota history and tuning knows its impossible to break the ecu coding of any Toyota or Lexus. People have claimed...tried...and still no one has been able to do it to date.
So to answer the OP question...yes it will remain NA for the rest of its production cycle.
