Would I need a tune for 13G to 13T turbo swap on '98 GLT (LPT)?

So I've got a '98 V70 GLT (LPT) with 230k on it. The 13G in it is pretty tired and could use a rebuild.

That said, cheap low-mile 13Ts are VERY easy to find, easy and cheap enough that it doesn't really make sense to go through the trouble of rebuilding the 13G.

Would I need a tune with a 13T swap or should I be fine since it's still relatively small compared to, say, a 16T?

I know the 13T is barely an upgrade, but I'm not looking for a huge performance gain, just an easy bolt-on swap to keep my LPT performing well. I would probably just leave the 13G straight flange bolted in place and swap over the 13T guts.

Sweet, good to know. Will be keeping my eyes on the classifieds & Craigslist part-outs...

(PS - still interested in those sport T5/wagon springs! Just ordered a set of Koni Special Active to put on the car with them...)
