First start up after installing turbo
 

another noob question from me guys! ::) well im almost done putting everything together, my question is, is there anything i need to do on my first start up since my turbo doesnt have oil in it yet?? or just crank it up and let it flow?

Thanks!

i pulled the plug wires off and held the compressor wheel from spinning and cranked the motor over for about 15 seconds. put it all back together and started it up :)

Inserted key, started, quick looked under car to see if if anything was leaking. A-OK. Put car in reverse, get onto street and tore ass. 8)

take off your feed line to the turbo and just put like a cap fll or 2 of oil in the turbo and spin it with your hand a few times to get it lubed ok. then turn the key and hold your breath...lol
