Bolt it on, let it idle for a minute, then drive it like you stole it.

If you just bolted on the turbo for the first time:

Before starting the motor, it is important to get an adequate supply of oil through the turbo. To do this, disable the ignition or injectors (different for various cars) so the car is able to crank without firing. Crank the motor over for 30-45 seconds in 10 second intervals. This will pre-oil the turbo, and prevent premature thrust bearing failure.

I doubt it would cause a problem. I don't know about cranking for 30-40 seconds thought, I'd probably do a couple of 10 second intervals.

or on the same line i would just pour oil into the inlet by hand, no reason to go that far for something i can do with the two hands, the two hands that my savior david, has given me
