Larger FMIC+winter temperature+same tune=lean condition?

Picking up a larger FMIC to replace the stocker. I was just curious if I went ahead and put it on, would the car lean out due to the colder, winter temperatures? I am not getting another tune until spring when the new snail goes in. If I run the new intercooler without any changes to my tune, will I have problems?

How do you do this mod to make the CEL flash when knock is detected?

Look for the Tephra Mod. Just follow the directions. Like mentioned you should be fine. It may lean you out a bit, but if it really worries you turn the boost down. I normally have to do this every winter anyways.
