Message "If I put bigger injectors will my car be faster?"

No.

"Will my boost go higher or what does bigger injectors do on stock turbos?"

No - nothing.

Larger injectors compensate for the tendency of detonation brought on by increased boost pressure/heat from turning up boost.
(NOTE: Without the TUNE, putting in bigger injectors means NOTHING!)

So, although you need to do alot of searching, this can get dangerous REAL QUICK so I'll give you the short version, then you finish learning by searching.

IF you have stock turbos, etc, you can get a leg up by:

Getting an A/M exhaust
Getting a POP charger (preferrably dual POP with Selin Translator)
Getting a tune that *allows you to turn up boost pressure.
(Boost jets or EBC, 13lbs is safe for this, but anything else can lend to failures, go to bigger inj passed that)

The OEM injectors will be able to handle this stage of upgrades.
("stage" doesn't mean *much* anymore, by I still like referring to this as stage 3, and it's entry-level stuff)

If you get injectors, go straight to 740 Nismos (Not JECS) or top-feed Injector Dynamics. (Project)

Looking at 15+ psi I wouldn't think about it without upgrading injectors, ESPECIALLY with old-style ones.
Also in this range you should consider upgraded Intercoolers (NO FMIC), and 16+ it's a must.

Proper tune is no contest, screwing with boost/injectors/IC's it's mandatory.

Have fun, search, don't go running out half-cocked.
