do i just crank it over without starting it..i.e take the ignition leads out and turn it over?

 

undo the oil inlet feed pipe to the turbo.
Place this into a jar and then disconnect the ignition leads,
crank over the car until oil comes out the pipe.

Sorted

 

i take the oil return pipe off the turbo, crank it, and wait for it to drip.

 

how long does it normally take

 

This is ideal but its normally easier to get the feed pipe off

 

Depends if its a new engine or not. But can be upto about 30 seconds

 

cheeRS!

 

I was also told on me cossie to disconnect to injectors so i dont flood the engine???

 

Good point for cossies but on an S1/S2 you cant disconnect them otherwise
fuel would p*ss out everywhere

 

ahh yes sorry didnt notice that we were talking about rst.

Simon did ya get the pm as i would really appreciate your feedback, and any info

 

Switch, Yes and I have replied !

 

cool Cheers fella. mucho helpful as always, will be in touch very soon

 

i take the rocker cover of aswell to make sure the oil gets to the top of the head o.k if it doesnt get to the top tidy you could find that it may have a problem with oil pump or pick up pipe and your new turbo could be knackerd in time to come.
