I can't speak for passing an emissions test but higher turbo velocity generally equals more exhaust flow, to a point. My engineering is running out here as it was 25 years ago. Someone else can chime in.

No changes to the turbo either. Increasing the flow of exhaust through the system will not, necessarily increase emissions. If the Cat is intact the only thing that would increase is CO2 emissions (which is not measured or controlled by the EPA on cars).

What jwzimm is referring to here is actually more of a respect for the other people on the planet and the environment.
For full disclosure, I run a clear DP through catless pipes an HKS Ti exhaust on my supra.. Im not saying I abide either, however the law is in place to protect us and the planet.
Really not the worst idea.
Im not saying I will race out of my way to support it as an automotive enthusiast, but at the same time, Id feel like a pretty shitty human being to actively oppose it as well.

Thank you for getting my point. We all have to live on this planet for a good long while so it is all of our responsibilities to follow the rules intended to protect it.
