Just finished. Is there a way to prime (oil) or just start it

It's oiled by a pressure feed line. If you want you might could add a very small amount, not much lest it run out the drain tube during installation, of regular CRD motor oil via the oil inlet port and spin the impeller by hand to "maybe" prelube the sleeve bearing. Frankly I suspect a new unit already comes with some lube applied to relevant internal surfaces. When geordi and I installed my GDE Stage II turbo we just fired things up and let it idle a bit for doing a test drive. Worked fine.

Mine came with instructions to add some oil through the inlet and spin the turbine by hand to oil the bearing before start up.
