I think the first thing to ask is how much do you want to spend? And how much do you want to spend on manifolds?

Thanks for all the plugs gents, very much appreciated.

I don't think anyone answered this, on a draw through you don't need a BOV.

A blow off valve is to prevent surge in the turbo as a result of rapidly closing the throttle when it's after the turbo. Think of it as letting the pressure between the turbo and throttle go. On a draw through set up this doesn't happen so you don't need it.

If I remember right F1 turbo cars had the throttle upstream of the turbo to help reduce lag. This comes at the expense of drivability.

If you want to wind up the boost using water injection to prevent knock, straight water has the biggest cooling effect (2.26MJ/kg) and it's cheap at around $1 per 1000L. A good rule of thumb is water flow should be ~70% of fuel flow. If you're using a set flow rate match it at the point where the turbo's started full boost (~3000rpm depending on the turbo).

I agree, I'd buy chris's manifold, su's don't cost to much I bought mine new old stock $75 plus post, t25 of a rb26dett is a good size and you can find some with carbon seals fitted standed or get one rebuilt with steel wheels which means u can run more boost, water/meth is also a good cooling agent if you look at cooling mist's web site they have many available, there are a few other things like oil/water lines, throttle cable pending on how u mount carbi and where, the small things add up, mine cost around $1500~1700 to get all the bits and get it going but still needed a tune but parts are easy to get for su's there's heaps of info if you google draw through setup's and learn along the way

Woott im trying to help you read my thread.
I'm currently doing exactly this, theres a lot of general info people say which isnt necessarily wrong its just half the info.

Without repeating my whole thread here this is the obvious things I found out the hard way:
- t25 is a flange not a turbo theres heaps of different sizes some too big some too small. Best sized t25 flange turbo i could easily find was off a r32 twin turbo gtr. Exact specs are in my thread
-draw through setups are easiest and cheapest for a basic build. Catch is turbo has to be carbon sealed. That gtr turbo I mentioned can be rebuilt with one
-manifold prices vary massively and arent readily available. Cyclons8 (Chris) is making mine his prices are the best youll find
-1 3/4 " SU is cheap and works well for drawthrough youll need a pro tune. That SU came off certain range Rovers

Costs
Chris manifolds exhaust and inlet budget at least $750
turbo $150-1000 depending on condition
Carbon seal kit $80
Su free if you know where to look
Tune $450

Yes t2 t25 and t28 all have the same exhaust housing bolt spacing and mount size, also u will need either a custom made dump to suit I'd ask chris to make one to suit just easier to get it all made than trying to fuk around, chris's setup's look very nice :)
