Wow this thread is STILL unlocked? When to answer your question vaguer errr.. vager, asking how much power will be added installing a turbo on a car is like asking how much better will my burger be if I add more mustard. These cars did not come with turbos so there are too many variables... when you add a turbo you add a whole bunch of other stuff. The only way to even get close to answering a question like that is if you installed someone's complete kit like Greddy. Then, you at least have all the same parts as the car they tested and put the same parts on, and did the same dyno. Even then there are variances due to mileage and condition of the engine.
Otherwise if you are building your own kit... what's your intake piping diameter, are you running an intercooler, is it an equal length tubular manifold, did you also add a 3" exhaust or only 2.5", how much boost are you going to run, did you add the supporting fuel system and tuning mods to support that boost level, etc... as you can see it gets quite complicated. This is not like installing a 16G on an otherwise stock Mitsu Eclipse, or upgrading your 300ZX TT with JWT sport 500s. Your setup will be custom, unless you get a complete kit, in which case you can ask the manufacturer to provide dyno graphs/estimates.
Good luck and enjoy researching.
