have you replaced the front mount with the same model and brand? it would be worth paying to have the car strapped on the dyno for a power run just to make sure everything is right, should be pretty inexpensive. the last thing you want to do is cheap out on something like that and end up replacing a motor

If it's the same size FMIC then nah but there are variables as to how well the new FMIC flows compared to the last but unless you see changes in how your engine runs (to put it simply) then you should be right.

Always better to make a quick call than listen to advice on forums though especially with something as simple as this.

If the new cooler flows better, wouldn't that lean it out, not make it rich?

Either way, I would definetly go for a power run. at least you wont have to worry about it anymore. might as well make it worthwhile and get a bigger turbo while your at it...

yup, definately get it on a dyno ASAP and avoid boosting it until you do
