Question

When the turbo as been fitted is there special oil you need.

I.e when fitting camshaft you need to use lube.

Do you have to start the car up for a while then change the oil.

No special oil, just use engine oil and put some in the turbo bearing before fitting the oil pipe. A drop or two will suffice to supply the bearing until the engine oil reaches it when you start the car.

Make sure that as said if its a new turbo not a secondhand that you pre-lube the bearing before start-up, also disconnect the coil leads to enable a bit of oil pressure to be achieved before start-up.
Just be carefull to keep everything as clean as poss when reconnecting oil feed lines, if poss take them off and blow them through with an air line or similar.
