Watch that inlet. The factory inlets tear VERY easily. If you do tear it and are in a pinch I have a nearly brand new one. Also make sure the bottle of the inlet is on the turbo well and not pinch. If you have a leak in that location, you will pop that motor in no time with unmetered, pre-turbo air.

I thought you were paying FAT to do all this? If you can swap a turbo, you can do injectors.

If you're worried about that, you can prime the turbo by pulling the ignition fuse and then cranking the engine 4-5 times for 15-25 seconds each. That will push oil through the turbo.

A friend and angle pliers or a long flat-head screwdriver from below helps with the oil drain.
