Aftermarket Intake and Running Lean?

Aftermarket Intake and Running Lean?
Hi, I am complete newbie when it comes to Toyota trucks...I had a Subaru STi before, so a bit of a different car, but a lot of similar technology.
I noticed on my used 2002 Tacoma that the previous owner did a hack-job on the intake (not deckplate mod), and I am convinced that the hack job is hurting my fuel economy substantially.
I decided to take the opportunity to get an aftermarket intake, and after a lot of research, ended up going with the Outlaw Power Intake. Was really impressed with the engineering they at least said went into its design. I recently found out that the intake diameter was increased...which from a subaru I was always told was a big no no for the possibility of running lean. Is this a problem with the yota too?
I noticed the MAF has a tapered inlet, so possibly this taper is what controls the diameter to get an accurate reading????
If not, is it also OK to do the MAF mod without having any fuel management?
