You will still get compression in the cylinders by doing that.
Do the above, and pull your plugs so most of the air can escape through the plug holes minimizing the air passing the blades on the turbo and making it spin.
After that I had the feed line off at the turbo end, and cranked it, waited until oil came out. Then hooked up the oil feed and kept cranking for about 5 seconds. Then I put the plugs back in, and pulled off the oil return, and cranked it until a bit of oil dripped out.

Your turbo is now primed with minimal dry spinning. Hook the CAS back up.
