my wagon has defo impressed you it doesnt hold it longer, it spools slightly quicker and seems to chuck the boost in more agressivly. also helps to hit desired boost levels.

not sure with the newage's tho matey? some thing we can look into when you get yours

I've heard something similar. But not I'm not entirely sure myself. Everyone would save alot of money though if your theory was correct.
