If you want power, you need everything from the box to the TB to be larger. Plenum geometry making more power is bull****************, but needs to be swapped to fit the larger TB.

She won't run without a tune. The ECU won't be able to interpret flow data with a larger maf housing and run lean (detonation lean)

Also, your next project should be to gut the exhaust. Power gains will be muted if she can't exhale.
