If the box still closes id imagine any possible gaps would now be clamped down. If you can return it go for it, if not I think it will be fine.

The filters are different and personally I wouldn't fit the FG filter to a BF. This pic will show you the differences, might be small but was enough for me to buy the right one when I bought my turbo back in 2008.

Agree with above.
