Remove the spark plugs and EFI fuse. Crank over until you get oil pressure, then continue to crank for a min. Make sure not to burn up the starter. Install plugs and EFI fuse and crank it up!

I primed my turbo when I had it laying around the house by pouring some oil into it, and spinning the compressor wheel by hand slowly while the oil ran itself through. Then I let it sit overnight on top of shop rags.

I read on some forums that people pull their fuel pump relays and let the motor crank over a few times, getting some oil pressure, then let the motor idle for a few minutes on initial startup.
