The boost will go up so there's a big chance you will run leaner.As a minimum, get it onto a dyno and do a power/afr run and if its lean have the tune sorted... there's tuners these days that dont bend you over for minor touch up tunes... few hundred should get you sorted

But mine with a 275 RWKW tune did not lean out after fitting the cooler.

What's cheaper, a few $'s for a retune or a lot of $'s for an engine rebuild? You might be O.K, but are you going to sleep at nights??Consider it to be insurance!
