Extruder GCODE help

Hi All,
Having some Gcode issues.

What I'm trying to do is purge both extruders on my MakerGear M2... however before I keep wasting PLA, let me ask you guys/girls what I'm doing wrong.

Starting script:::
M108 S255 ; turn on M2 fans
G28 ; home all axes
G1 Y50 Z0.3 F9600 ; move forward to avoid binder clips
G1 X209 Z10 ; move off platform
G1 Z0.4 ; position nozzle
G92 E0 ; zero extruder
G1 E25 F225 ; purge E0 nozzle
T1 ; Change to Extruder E1 (T1)
G1 E25 F225 ; purge E1 nozzle
T0 ; Change to Extruder E0 (T0)
G92 E0 ; zero extruder
G1 X190 Z0.1 E1.0 F1200 ; slow wipe
G1 X180 Z0.25 ; lift

So what it's doing is only purging Extruder 1.. doesn't do much anything else, then starts the print

After T1 and before the purge, do a G92 E0 (zero E value), otherwise it's trying to go to E25 from E25 (no movement)
