oil change
i havent changed the oil on a turbo car before (i was lazy and always got other people to do it) and have heard that there a few things that has to be done, but with my memory being like a goldfish i have forgot!
i think i mem someone mentioning that you have to fill the filter with some oil so the turbo is not starved??
there is prob a thread on here bout this but cant find it. (cant be bothered trudging all of them)
thnx

You should fill the oil filter on every car when possible ( some daft car makers like fitting filters upside down tho :S )
You could unplug the crank sensor and wind it over until the oil goes out before actually starting it..
But just use good quality oil, fill the filter, and start it and let it idle for a minute.
Dont start it and rev the crap out of it like some numpties do.

Also if running standard oem boost controller dont fill it all the way up about 3/4 is best otherwise the oil can make it into the boost solenoid causing a world of problems
