I ran my STi for two years with a front mount and no re-map, I cannot see why you would have to drive off boost until the car was mapped. As you are cooling the air more which would make it slightly denser but with the standard ECU being a learning item surely it is within the perameters of the ECU to factor in this slight increase in airflow picked up by the MAF sensor.
If I am barking up the wrong tree feel free to correct me.
