A common mistake when changing a turbo is to crank the engine and even accelerate it prior to the turbo receiving oil. This causes extreme wear on internal turbo parts and could cause the turbo to go bad before it's even had a chance to run.

One way to prevent this problem is leave the oil drain line on the turbo loose. Prevent the engine from cranking by unhooking the coil wire (gasoline), pulling the kill cable or unhooking the pump solenoid. Spin the engine over until oil pressure is achieved and oil is evident out the drain line. Tighten the drain line and reconnect the coil wire or pump solenoid.
