prime new turbo just crank minus the ecu fuse.

First clean the oil line out

so have somone hold the line and turn the engine over with the key. it should shoot out oil so what you need is bucket for the line or coke bottle or something like that.

second step is to hook it to the turbo with the drain disconnected. Then crank somemore till you see it drain out. then button everyhting back up and call it day plug ecu and have some fun

hey viren I agree with what your saying but if the line is brand new and you know its clean (inside) do you really think its necessary to do what your saying?

When Art and Chris installed my 18G Greddy Kit we just primed it with a couple of clicks and then I was off to the races.

just because the line is new doesn't mean it is clean. At least blow it out with compresser air if you really don't want to the right way.
