It will make you run leaner than you were before. But if you are already running rich, that won't necessarily result in running dangerously lean.

that is kinda what i figured, I did a search on the forum and got no result so thanks.

also, if i increase the volume in the intake piping by adding a larger intercooler will i have to turn up my boost to compensate and still run stock boost?

No, quite the opposite. Installing a larger IC will INCREASE your boost levels over what you are running with the stock IC. You can expect a 1-2 psi increase. This is one of the best reasons to upgrade from the stock IC, IMO.

Your turbos will still be able to generate stock boost levels without a problem. Intake volume's biggest effect is on lag, because your turbos have to pressurize more area in order to build up a certain level of boost. Only if the IC suffers excessive pressure drop (of which the M2/ASP ICs do not) will you have problems building boost, and even then, the turbos will do it, they'll just work harder.
