    so after the first turbo i figured id put in as much precaution as i could. So this time i got everything hooked up pulled the banjo bolt filters and all. got her all put back together now. Now Im priming.

    I put the oil feed line onto the turbo and pulled the IGN fuse and cranked like i was supposed to. just in case I unscrewed the bolt after a few trys to check if its getting oil and im seeing non. what can be causing it to not come up?

    Try starting it for a split second, the turbo will likely not spin much at that point. If you're scared, dump some oil into the turbo. Unless you have an oil pressure problem, oil will prime into it eventually.

    Check the oil line all the way back to the beginning and make sure it is not kinked or blocked some how. I think this lessen has cost you enough.
