To be the absolute a$$....go STS 
It will make the exhaust loud and nasty.
Seriously.... what are you running after the turbo? I made the above statement in jest, but in the case of the STS, it "replaces" the muffler and does a good job of muffling it, within reason. A simple resonator or bullet muffler instead of the "traditional-style" muffler might be what you're looking for to wake the sound up.
In short, turbo's are effective sound deadeners.

yeah, i knew the turbo quiet my set up. i don't mind quieter, but it no longer sounds like a v8....sounds like my (sold supra), which i did like, but not in a v8.
i'm going to try and post a sound of my set up later today.
i have a magnaflow muffler.

So you've got two mufflers... First the turbo then the magnaflow. 
A cutout would be really practical for so you can keep your muffler too... You might not want to be too loud all the time.
This is the sound of an LM1 resonator. I'm stuck being super loud all the time, even at half-throttle, but I don't mind because I really don't like any of my neighbors:

i couldn't get good inside clip, only outside...sounds okay to me under boost, but i liked the way it sounded more before the turbo set up. gotta a red ss in my neighborhood and he has glasspacks only and it sounds nasty at idle and part throttle here's my clip

Sounds mean to me max, but you know our cars can never be as loud as blown or NA.

this is what open pipes sound like....
in the burnout, it's sitting on the burnout limiter
the car turned the tyres mid track, and buzzed the engine limiter...
the pedal was due to sideways movement...
