ok so tonight we started my car for the first time since the turbo.

heres my set upboost designs mani and "downpipe"fmicgreddy type s (vented to atmostphere)iap oil line kitt3 t4 turbo (xspower)tial style 38mm wastegatesr 370s walbro 255lph fuel pump

well start up initailly went well. i cranked to motor to get the oil circulated then started the car. its very loud without an exhaust. idle seemed to be steady and smooth. i noticed my feed line was leeking slightly before the restrictor (minimal) and the return bung in the oil pan was leakin like a drop every 10 seconds or so. although i was not happy with the leak in the oil pan i was pleased the car idled smooth. tomorrow is another day and i will have to repair that bung on the oil pan with some more sealant. i know people hear will flame me for not welding it. also the s-afc 2 is arriving wed and it will be installed. overall im pleased that it runs. i will post pics tomorrow i hope.

sweet! congratulations man.

so how did you crank the motor exactly to get the oil circulated? That's something I know I should do, I just don't quite know exactly how to do it.

Thanks

I welded their bung.Figured it would eb a good idea to clean out the oil pan and weld it for extra assurance.

to crank the motor without adding fuel just remove your fuel pump fuse. let it crank for a few seconds to send the oil into your turbo.anyone else not weld their oil return bung? i think im just going to go nuts with the sealant and glob it on

Pull the plug off the distributor when cranking aswell, the car can still start/sputter with a removed fuel pump fuse.
