For those of you who have been having issues, did you prime the feed line before you started the car up? It's not something that has been brought up much on here and just wanted you guys to be aware that if you fail to get oil flowing to the bearings PRIOR to starting the car, you can damage things! I was thinking about this today for some random reason and just wanted to post it.

I rebuilt mine before putting it on so It was prelubricated with engine oil. I think the issue is many people getting new BB units and not oiling them or primping first.
There is also the fact that a large majority are buying used turbos. Which implies a large amount of risk already because you don't know the history of the turbo.
