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

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.
