are you able to start the car? or just cranking it over with out starting? your not going to get oil pressure with out it running.

Well you'll circulate oil, albeit WICKED slow...lol. You don't need to prime the turbo BTW. If you're worried, poor a little motor oil into the cartidge by hand and rotate the compressor wheel a few times.s13rb25det wrote:are you able to start the car? or just cranking it over with out starting? your not going to get oil pressure with out it running.
As soon as you fire up the motor you'll have almost immediate oil pressure at the turbo...trust me, I forgot to tighten the line once....and once is enough...lol.
