This is not a V8 mustang with a roots blower (positive displacement supercharger) where it makes 400ft/tq at 1200rpm, with a 4800rpm red line.

The turbo will make your current exhaust quieter, as the turbine does act like a muffler. However, when WOT it may be louder due to the extra flow.
As far as all the other stuff...waste gate: either re-circulated or open to atmosphere...there is nothing else to it. Electric cut-outs are made for post turbo applications where the exhaust may be small/restrictive to exhaust flow. IMO not needed at all for the power a stock block can produce safely, with a dual 2.5" exhaust.
