I just bought and installed a new ss oil line for my turbo, and installed today while doing an oil change... So right now there is no oil in just the line (I didn't mess with the fittings), do I need to prime it? Thanks for your time.
 
Here is what you do. Turn the ignision switch to the on possition of a few seconds and then turn the engine over but don't acually start it. Do that a few times and that will prime all the lines. Then you are good to go.
 
Just do it, it takes like 3 seconds.

Not bad copper gst........not bad at all...but remember..theres always someone faster...
 
I prime my set-up after every oil change to make sure good oil is in it before start up, and I still have the stock 14B on mine with 190k miles, with no shaft play, it only takes 15 seconds to do it, whats 15 seconds of your time worth if it helps keep your turbo in good condition longer? Also dont forget to pull the MPI fuse like Tyler said.
