Blowthrough allows for intercooling, but drawthrough needs less parts, and is therefore technically less difficult.

grrr i dont believe it

the only diadvantage of blow is the fuel setup required (higher pressure pump) which i guess make it slightly more expensive, but technically a much better system well worth the extra cash (around 180 bux extra)

but suck offers it's own problems, like mounting carbie and acclerator cable, no intercooler as you said and no blow off valve (dont know how i could live without my BOV now)

don't be so bloody lazy and put injection on and eliminate all of those problems you know you can it's just a matter of sacrifice just work out what you can do without ( food , electricity , water , ) prioritise.

Drawthroughs don't need a sneeze valve. there is no disadvantage for them in not having one.

oh i could SO push a few buttons here

really - they all have benefits and downfalls. talk to one person, get ONLY their advice and run with it. start mixing other people's advice into the pot and it's all a big mess of numbers, flow charts and problems.

make one it's easy enough

use steam pipe, buy some 90 degree bends, 1.25 internal diameter is a good fit

welded mine up with an arc welder, took 2 days to do manifold and dump pipes to a ollection point (remember this is for twin turbo) for a single it will take a lot less time
