Doesnt seem slow to me? Listen to it on iTunes and if I like I drag and drop it over to the iPod - all my musics already uploaded onto iTunes and newly downlaoded music I chuck it on straight away............. doesnt seem that much of a hassle? lol

Almost all "branded" mp3 requires some kind of 3rd party program to transfer the music & can't just drag & drop mp3 files in windows explorer like a regular usb key or hard drive.

This is mainly done to reduce people from sharing music, ie breaking copyright bla bla bla...

If you want a simple drag & drop mp3, my 1st choice would be those "generic" branded ones, I bought a super cheapo 1Gb one from JB hifi to use in my car (AUX) & its alot better than my ipod in my opinion, no more itunes. as I use winamp to play my music.

Have a sansa (sandisk)8gb ipod look alike. looks like a older ones case with better features including fm radio and movies. same cables too? gets loud as hell too..lol

battery lasts forever doesnt need itunes. has a basic media converted included if you want to convert compress movies. cheap as hell about 60 bucks a year ago including the workout protective case. arm band holder. and 4gb upgrade card expandable too. highly recomended , got it from strathies, haggle a little they will come down on prices..lol or ebay ?

CNET recommends as well, (mine is the newer model of this one, same features only better firmware for more memory)

http://www.cnet.com.au/mp3players/mp3playe...40091241,00.htm

the only drawback is the charging , it only came with a cable to hook to USB to charge with. besides that no drawbacks at all for the cost.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

had a 80 gb ipod the hard drive crashed and lost all my music,photos,movies in a instant. the drive wouldnt spin up even after i took it out to put in external reader took the drive apart the heads crashed into the disk and got jammed . stay away from hard drive models ,plus harddrive models use more battery to spin the drives.

have a multitude of other mp3 players in my junk box.lol including one old harddrive player with a 250gb drive in it ..lol from a laptop. it was going to be a used as a perm mount in my car but changed my idea to use a gutted laptop instead for mutimedia etc.

heading down the iphone path in a few months when the newer models come out, a few drawback on the iphones gps , uses the towers trianglation instead of actual gps from sat. which chews up bandwidth allocation fast. and not compatable with all car audio decks yet?

Before I invested in a decent MP3/CD head unit for the car, I used to use my phone

Its a K750i, 2 years old at least. Has a 2 gig memory stick in it, which is more than enough for listening to music in the car or bus.

I bought the adaptor which lets you plug in your own 3.5mm jack and connected that to one of those tape units (budget I know, but it was a VN commodore before the GTR and I wasn't about to spend money on it ;P)

Anyhow, you can now get more recent sony ericsson walkman phones with the 3.5mm jack out already, so you can use it as a walkman, and then get a m-m 3.5mm cable to go from the phone to an aux in of a head unit... (or the tape thingy)

I highly recommend it. The MP3's are stored on the card of your chosing and detect as a simple usb drive when the phone is plugged in.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
