Re: Bout to start my car up. ------- scarred.
you guys just made my day with this chopped fingers thing! 
priming the turbo is good practice but since the turbo will spin either not at all or very slowly on startup, turbo won'T have time to starve foir oil at all. it will really not take long for the oil to get in there. You don'T even have to worry about holding the shaft.
BUt, you can still be worried about your restrictor begin plugged. that happens. Often. The hole is so small.
So I usually crank the car with the feed liine in a can to see if any oil comes out of it. If it does, then you plug it to the turbo and you're ready to go, knowing that the turbo will not suffer from oil starvation.
