Default Almost done, need little help though.

Heres the thing. Everything is put together, i pull a relay so that it doesnt crank over, but it starts up, just to see if the oil like will spit out oil to my turbo. I took the wire off the turbo and put it into a can. I start it several times, i get out, and i see no oil. Whats up with that?? Do I need to actually have the engine run to have oil squirt out of there? what do you think is wrong??

u need the engine to crank, just not start. just start the car, although the turbine will be moving...its not like ur gunna be boosting. Just shut it off as soon as u see oil come.

The engine wasnt rebuilt, it was just a turbo install. I see some oil underneath the car now, i can see where its coming from though but it may be the reason that im not gettin pressure for the oil to go through the line. Damnit this is frustrating.
