Hey all, I just finished up building my 5sfte setup after about a year and a half of researching and buying parts, and with alot of help from info on this site. Especially pressure2's build and really all who have answered questions regarding this motor. Thanks to all by the way, this is a great forum, very helpful. So I had everything ready to prime the turbo with oil, removed the iginition and fuel fuses and turned the motor over for quite a while but no oil pressure at all. I made sure the timing belt was installed correctly, (I had it off to replace the head gasket) so in know its turning the pump, idk if i need to prime the pump somehow first? Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated, im so close I can taste it lol....

cranking the engine over for a few seconds should be enough to get oil up in the system.
