2005 F350 DO I HAVE TO PRIME THE TURBO

I rebuilt the Turbo last nite and cleaned it up, the vanes were stuck. So now im curious if I have to prime the Turbo before I crank it over. or if just running the motor will be good enough. Thanks

  • Did you "rebuild" it or clean it up? If you truly rebuilt it then you know it needs oil before it starts spinning.
  • No idea how yow you would "prime" the turbo. It just spins on it's own as the gasses flow over the vanes. JMHO
