Unattach your coil packs and turn the car over a few times 3-5 with about 30-45 secs inbetween. This will get oil into the turbo before you go to start it.

yeah, unplugged the ecu and cranked it over more than several times....still nothing ....didnt know if maybe there was a secondary oil pump for the turbo or something unusual like that.
