'99se vs later model se (power and turbo diffs)

There have been several posts lately about the 205 vs. 200hp. The specs (also on this site) explain clearly that the '99s have 200 and later years 205. Talking all SE 5speed here.
But what I'm asking about is how this power feels. The '99 seems more sluggish IMHO. Much more than 5hp worth. A recent post suggested that's because of a different turbo on the '99s (eg. Garrett).
Can someone comment in greater detail? How much difference can an ECU make if the turbo is inherently less powerful?
Also, will an ECU upgrade void the factory and/or AAA aftermarket warranty? It seems like it would be really nice to get an ECU upgrade on a '99 SE and have 230+ hp. But before going there I'd like to know a little more about what's going on and what potential risks there are.
Thanks,
Newdude
