    A mate of mine just brought a brand new turbo and instructions seem very brief/the writer might be confused them self. How did some of you guys do it?Instructions had something along the line of hold back the compressor wheel and idle the car for 40seconds. I presume this is to pump oil through with out letting the shaft rotate? How would you do this when the afm meter/air filter needs to be in place, also wont exhauust gases be super hot to try and hold back the turbine wheel.I have also read of some people cranking the car for with no ignition for 10secs 2-4 times then starting up the car idling normally, but i dont think that is enough oil pressure.
