friend of mine says to put some oil in my turbo before i install the kit. is this true?? i tried searching already.

attach the oil feed line to it from the back of the block then pull out all the spark plug wires from ur engine then crank it 4 times 10 seconds at time until u get oil coming from the feed line. When it starts to come out connect it to the turbo and crank it again. This will get the oil flowing throughout the turbo. Its called priming the turbo. After ur done u can put ur spark plug wires back into the engine and start it up.

Instead of pulling your wires, disconnect your fuel pump so you're not flooding it.

If you want take some oil and drop it in the line and let it trickle down. The turbo wont spin at idle, but for peace of mind I guess you could do that.

Many turbos spin at idle. However must of us here on this forum have larger than neccasary turbos so a lot of them dont.

I would do that, and prime the turbo by cranking it over.

you can pull the injector harness connector to keep from flooding the cylinders also. crank it a few times to prime the turbo.

sorry you are right, many spin at idle, I do not know what I was thinking. I guess I ment they really do not spin that fast you can stop it with your finger, not that I would try. But prime the turbo and go on with it. It is easy and will make you feel better.

any difference from "pulling out the plugs and injectors clips" vs just taking out the ECU fuse?

thanks

when i primed mine i just unplugged the ecu all together. prevents fuel and spark. made sure oil came out the feed line and then hooked them both back up.

My turbo spins at idle, but it didn't the first time i started it up. Didn't know to prime it though
