i am about to fit a new turbo and just needed to know if there is anything that i need to be aware of, Do I need to run it in before I take it to the dyno or ist ok straight away. Do I need to put some oil into the turbo first to lubricate it for the first start or will it be ok, just dont want to screw it upo and have to do it all again.

Take your oil lines off and blow them out with air. You could run a prefilter on the turbo feed line but lets face it, if your turbo gets dirty oil then your engine is to. Either way your screwed.If the turbo failed from lack of oil then it will have seized bearings, scorched shaft, heaps of play or little bits of metal inside it, or all of the obove but I highly doubt it. Just blow the lines out for peace of mind. New copper washers.

Oh yes, disconnect the drain to the turbo and place a container underneath, then disconnect your coils and get someone to turn the key for a few seconds till oil flows out the drain tube. As soon as you see the oil flow turn it off. DO NOT start the car with the oil drain disconnected. You will not beleive how much oil an RB can pump in three seconds.
