First, you should post this question in the 9000 board where you'll more than likely get more resposes, as that BB is model specific. Second, your car has the LPT (light pressure turbo) engine and you are not gonna be mashed into your seat or see a large change in RPMs. The LPT turbocharger is mechanically/wastegate controlled, whereas the CSE and Aero models are FPT (full pressure turbo)--controlled by the computer. The LPT engine runs on about 3psi of boost, while the FPTs run on about 11psi. The LPT is great on smoothness and lack of turbo lag. Personally, I couldn't stand the LPT in my '95 9k CS and upgraded it to a FPT, which is very easy to do. Now I get a Neck Snap!
