You can get a brand new Xoom from EB Games for $388. That's a bargain if you ask me.

If you are happy to spend more then the Asus seem to be the goods.

I'm going to go against the grain a bit and say a netbook, lol. Half the price of a decent tablet, and twice the power and versatility. I have an acer aspire 1. It runs a dual core 1.5ghz processor. Cost under $300 when I got mine. it runs dual boot android and windows but I never use Android because of the lack of an app market, but I have had a play around on it. Loads fast and is functional.

My missus has the Asus Transformer which has the keyboard that clips onto it. Awesome bit of gear but a little on the expensive side.

Im using the transformer to write this.

Pros:

Decent battery life(especially with the keyboard)

Key board has usb port.

Pad has internal memory, and micro sd card.

Keyboard has full sd card slot.

Pad has micro hdmi out.

Plenty of games and apps from android market.

Can use mouse pad and touch with keyboard connected.

Live wallpapers.

due to extra battery in keyboard, you can charge keyboard whilst using the pad elsewhere.

Cons:

Web browser freezes every now and then, have to press wait.

Limited number of web tabs to open.

If trying to type with on screen keyboard, if you drag fingures a little, swype kicks in.

Speakers not super loud.

Youtube sometimes takes forever to load. Last update made it better, but i find, you have to close backgroud programmes.

I am biased, but the new iPad is sweet.

Considering a tablet is basically a screen, and the iPad has the best screen.. It's the best tablet, IMHO.

FLASH PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!

IPHAIL LOSES AGAIN :)

Agree with this.

Less cost, more usability.

Or if you got cash to burn, you can pick up one of those 13.3" ultra portable laptops around $800-$1k (most will have i3 or i5 & some have SSDs so loading times will be a none issue)

Most good sites use HTML5 these days anyway, Flash is a dying format.

Bullshit. f**k all sites use HTML 5. Sure, it's going to grow and grow and grow and eventually all sites will run it (or HTML 6, 7 or 8) but for now and the short to medium term Flash still runs 95% of the internet.

No Flash - iFail.

+1 for netbook - the difference in usability can't be understated. A netbook is a complete PC whereas a tablet is basically a phone with a bigger screen.

I agree that netbooks are superior. If you do not need the out and out compactness of a tablet get s laptop/netbook.

However, if 90% of the time you'll be using it while sitting on a train or something, get a tablet.

      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

      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.
