I know it's not a bunch of practical advice, and yes some of it is in Dutch (but Google's Translate helps) and no they don't update loads, but you might want to glance at waarisrick.nl every now and then as they're currently on the way there.

I got my Indian and Iranian visas in Turkey without going through an agency. Was stuffed around by the Iranian consulate in Istanbul, but eventually managed to get it in Erzurum. I had also tried to get my Pakistan visa in Istanbul, but was told to get it in Tehran. That ended up being only a 4 day wait.
I don't know what the situation is now, but it shouldn't be too different. I suppose if you are in a hurry, or have a definite timetable, getting your visas at home would be the go.

I got both the Iranian and Pakistan visas at home. Not sure if it was neccessary, but I used Iran travel agency Iran tour agency Iran tour operator tour and travel to Iran visa fly to Iran tourism for the Iranian visa, and that has worked out well. The Pakistani visa is a piece of cake, so long as you specify the correct itinery. I.e. avoid mentioning anything near Baluchistan or Afghanistan, and put down instead that you will travel from China via the Khunjerab pass through Gilgit to Islamabad and on to Lahore. I will acutally take that route, but I dont think it matters as it is not stated on the visa. With this info (and being German) I had the passport back in the mail after 2 days.
For more info (always about 2 weeks late), check Moto Eurasia
