Re: turbo oil pressure
fresh motor, may take a few seconds to build up pressure and get it flowing threwout the motor. Start it and let it run for 10 seconds of so and check it again.

na, that shouldn't effect anything, leave it on. Did you put a new oil pump on? did they make sure the oil tube in the pan was put back on? if not, it ain't gonna suck up any oil.

DO IT ON ALL FOURS
Re: turbo oil pressure
Verify your oil level and be sure to prefill your oil filter (which should already be standard practice). Disconnect the ECU (or fuel and ignition another way) and crank the engine over for 30-60 seconds in 10 second intervals giving the starter a 10 second or so break in between. You can do all of this with the sandwich plate hooked up.

Re: turbo oil pressure
Sorry, I misread... either way, you can test it like that if you choose to do so. A way to verify if the turbo is getting oil is to disconnect the drain line. You should see a steady flow.

Re: turbo oil pressure
You can't just keep cranking it, assembly lube only lasts so long.
Drop the pan an verify that the pickup and pickup gasket are in place on the oil pump,
Then fill to proper level and try again.

Re: turbo oil pressure
Took mine many many cranks to fill the filter full and prime oil out the turbo feed. If you're feeling crazy fire it up with the feed line off till it makes a horrific mess lol

Re: turbo oil pressure
on a fresh motor i always put oil in the filter, also i crank the motor with the distributor unplugged untill the light goes off. Usually takes about 30 seconds for it to build pressure in the entire motor. After that I plug in the dizzy and fire it up. i use EXTREME amnounts of moly assumbly lube on my builds LOL
