New poster! (less than 10 posts)

right my dini has been in bodyshop for just about 10 months and hasnt been started is there a pre start procedure regarding the turbo, iv been reccomended to put fresh oil in to the oil inlet pipe before starting or it may destroy turbo?

also i have a bit of bogging under boost ) last time i drove it aha!

it was fine boosts well then hits the boost and boggs down then picks up again .
i have noticed that in between the carb and turbo there is a little piece with 3 pipes coming off going in different direction ( mainly the turbo/wastegate) however

there is not a pipe on one and when i cover the hole it sucks and idles better, should this maybe be going to the turbo which explains the bogging on boost? there is no smoke or other problems and when it picks up again it seems fine.

any help will be appreciated.

here is a link to the picture any help would be appreciated

Id just remove the king lead and crank the engine on the starter until the oil light goes out. That will prime the turbo without the hassle of disconnecting the oil feed.
