i know adam has Kris' old pods on, or used to, but facebook has yielded nothing

Yep, I sure do. Having a few intarwebz issues so can't post before / after pics but will do once I get back online.

yeah but gotta work out what's available being a new estate etc...it's just inside the exchange which is around the corner from where I live now, so TPG etc won't guarantee speeds.....It might still be fine, and being ADSL2 even 'slow' would probably be quicker than normal ADSL, but it's not like you can try before you buy..

when you say its around the corner, you mean the exchange?

If so, it'll be fast as f**k if they have ADSL2+ support. dont worry about their promises or whatever as the closer you are, the faster it is. They can't stop that. Although TPG do artificially shape you without warning & reason - and then deny it, so be wary of them.

Although due to the waste of money NBN, most internet companies are not installing decent infrastructure anywhere so you'll probably just be stuck with shitty ADSL.

Ash, I meant my parents house where I live at the moment is around the corner from the exchange. My house is just inside the boundary according to some website thar was linked in the adsl thread a few weeks ago.

Not sure what other options are available to me but need decent speed, adsl minimum, and decent download limit... Splitting the bill with housemates, so might be able to spend a bit more if necessary.

What's better adsl2 or cable?

depends how many people in your area have cable. Cable speed is distributed throughout the network it belongs to, not just to one house. For example with adsl the things that will slow u down are distance from exchange and load on the service at home, say ur housemates and u being on at the same time. With cable, if everyone in ur street has cable, ur never gonna get a good speed from it. Worst part is there's no way of knowing how popular cable is in ur area

thats the age old cable thinking

over subscribed / hub technology / blah blah

the network is pretty well setup these days

i dont reckon cable would ever be over subscribed

ive used optus @home and bigpond cable and all times

it was consistent line rate non-stop regardless

the only time it was slow back when optus @home would cap you for reaching your quota

adsl as others have said

varying line rate and speed and throughput

dropouts and very suseptable to line conditions

coax cable is very mature, stable and static

and when adsl does barf you get that age old chestnut

oh its the line, oh its your exhange, oh its your filter blah blah

cable if it barfs, you ring bigpond or optus and say fix and they do it

Are they rolling out cable still? I thought all of that sort of infrastructure spending had pretty much stopped, especially with everyone waiting to see what happens with the NBN

Not these days, and basically why would neighbors get adsl if they can get cable? All the neighbors that I know have cable atm and I don't seem jibbed with speeds at all - in fact I see speeds of around 35mbps often (30mbps plan)

and yeh, I'd still like to see fiber but seriously doubt its happening anytime soon here, well it may in the direct city but for a country our size? lol good luck with that.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • 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
