How to prime youre new Turbo

wsirianni · 01-05-2008, 11:56 AM

Ok ive seen this question everywhere so here it goes.Lets say youre going to put in an upgraded turbocharger and you have to prime (lubing the turbo before starting)it. Well since youre going to upgrade youre fuel pump anyway youve probablly aready ran the fuel lines dry and unpluged the fuel pump relay. now since the pump is already out and the lines are dry when youre turbo is bolted on and all lines are hooked up just crank the engine for 10to 15 seconds or until there is oil comming out of the return line from the turbo. and your turbo charger is prime and ready that simple.
