it'll be fine. My cosworth was dry stored for 17 years and it has been perfectly fine ever since. When you first start it up just let it run for a little bit

will be perfectly fine but when you start it up again i'd pull the plugs out (might be a little ott i admit) and crank it over to get oil pressure and oil reaching everywhere in the engine and turbo. then plugs back in and fire her up!
