Default Turbo almosst done, anything special to do b/f I start it for the 1st time?

ok, as the topic stats, Should I take out my plug wires and crank it over a bit to get the oil thru the lines and all? anything else?
Also, I have the 450cc and afc, do I have to set the afc at something b/f I start my engine, or can I leave it all set at 0?

Set them at 33% and tune out from there. THat should run REALLY rich, but keeps anything from screwing up if your timings to advanced or something, i see it as a safety thing, but how much psi are you running?

I'm planning on running 10 psi on a t25, d16zc. I'm planning on taking it to a dyno asap, but the dyno that's close to me said they arn't sure If they tune cars(like imports, only mustangs) so i'm a little leary about going there.

You don't need to pull your plugs. Just pull out the PGM-FI fuse and crank your car to get some oil to that turbo. I did that this morning and my ------- oil line shot off and redecorated my garage floor. Bastard.

Bah just start the ******.. 90psi of oil pressure gets to the turbo alot faster than you think

I'd start with -40% across the board, shes gonna be really rich at 33.

yea definantely a prayer helps . Mine didn't start the first time, but that was just because i had some fucked up chip in there that must have gotten corrupted in the burning process. Then I had to wait like another 2 weeks to get some 450's in and to get another blank chip in the mail. Then i blew my headgasket the first day...
