Default extra oil for turbo setup

is anyone adding extra amount of oil for their turbo setups?

also would you think using syn. oil for first fire/run/tune or just wait......this isnt a fresh motor but does have a cam installed in it with cam lube.

Just fill up the way you normally do -- add your oil, start it, check it, top it off.

Running synth on your first start with the turbo is fine.

Just make sure the oil level is at the proper operating range. This may require a little more that before, but it depends on your setup.
