How was switching from the stage 3 billet turbo to the larger turbo? Was there a sound difference between the two?

Just a quick update to say the car is still running fine despite me abusing it on several drift days recently (video of the latest one is here if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/ChrisDriftVideo)

Also, I installed some solid transmission mounts today and my god it increases NVH a lot. I was expecting a bit of extra sound and vibration when driving, but even on startup and on idle its a lot harsher. Lots of rattling when off throttle as well, but that might just be because of the lightweight flywheel I'm running (I noticed it a little when I first got that installed, but the solid mounts make it wayyyy more noticeable now). On the plus side though, the gear shift feel is noticeably improved and you get that nice "race car" whining sound when accelerating. Definitely don't do this to a daily driver or car that you drive on the road a lot though... I'm not even sure I can put up with the extra NVH just for driving it a few hours a month down to drift events, but we will see.
