a drop in boost temp caused by the increased A/R og the bigger turbo might cause your car to lean out at high rpm/boost if you already are on the limit of your injectors...

THE AIRFLOW at engine speeds with a t34 vs t3 is vastly different so needs a different chip as it is lean all over the boost range even on spool up its leaner it is due to the ve of the engine and turbo that the chip needs changing
