Would be wise to watch data logs while driving, tuning is likely wanted.

A different bigger turbo is going to make boost and power at different rpm levels than the smaller turbo.

Like 10lb of boost on a 67mm turbo is not the same as 10lb on a 75mm, one is flowing more air than the other.

Yes, Just watch your wb and make sure it's not gonna run lean in boost. You'll have a lot more air flow now then you're tuned for.

You will need a re-tune if nothing more then to confirm your set up is fine.
The larger turbo and larger intercooler will move more air easier.
