Alright everybody, tonight my friend and I installed everything onto my car... Minus the oil pan due to return line issues that i'll fix later today. Anyways I plan to run the car tomorrow, what should I do to get the oil through the lines to the turbo before I actually go to start the engine and let it run. I think I read somewhere about unplugging the spark plug wires and cranking the engine a couple of times. If this is true where do I unplug them, the coil or from the plugs?? Any input is appreciated.

oh, another thing on the pipe coming from the throttle body there is the little hose that goes off and attatches to the valve cover. Is this a source of vaccum that I could tap for my BOV, or should I stick to break booster and/or PCV

Thanks again,
Josh
 
just pull off the wires off the plugs and undo the injector plugs as well, and turn it over a few times ,youll be fine
 
This how I prime my turbo though it's not totally necessary.

1. Pull the mpi fuse to disable fuel.

2. Pull the plug to coil to disable spark.

3. 3 intervals of 15 cranks.
