I noticed the same thing with my TA headers and the ball bearing turbo. The car is definitely louder and the throttle is snappier. The sound of the turbo definitely is way different than my PT61. I had the same experience on my test drive, too - thought to myself "okay, now we have the potential to make bad things happen really fast".
I like those flexible hose couplings. I think I might go that route. Did you notice any difference when you let off the throttle - like stumbling? I get a really bad stumble off throttle since moving to the bigger turbo w/ the ball bearings (stupid thing is spooling all the time). I think it's air moving back through the intake tract so I'm going to move the MAF to the up pipe and see if that helps.
