Turbo gains?

How much of a gain without injectors would I see if I put the new turbonetics unit in. Would it change the sound? Faster spool up? Sorry I am new to this and want to spend my money right the first time.

You wont see much hp increase without more fuel. It will probably spool a little slower and your egts will drop. I am not sure about the sound.

Do you get smoke once the turbo is spooled? About the only way to clean up the haze competely is with nitrous. You might get 10 hp from the bigger turbo, but you need more fuel to make much more power.
