There’s no point having shiny paint if the wheels are all covered in dirt. A quick hose and some wheel cleaner will have them 👌

thinks of it like a cold start. the shaft and bearings have to be lubricated to prevent wear or friction that will eventually lead to failure. while he is holding the turbo still, it's being primed by the oil pump, circulating throughout the turbo.
right.
no need to chip your screwdriver when your finger works just fine😳😳
this is amazing thats a very good tip
For the love of god don’t do this.
but why?
Next time grab the crankshaft when you start it to prime it
I use a pair of vise grips on the nut with big diesel engines.
Or just pour oil in the oil inlet and spin by hand. Like the manual probably states.
Who's going to go under the hood every time to start the car just to prime the bearings on the turbo?
just wait 15 seconds
turbo timer?
As long as it's properly lubed at installation, this is what REAL mechanics do.
Almost sounds like the broken ifunny sound
