I really thought you could and were able to do that without harming the turbo... thought you needed to let the oil enter the turbo before it starts spinning.

Ummm, no. The oil feed to a turbo almost instantly hits the turbo upon engine startup. We are talking about 30+ psi of oil running through a small line to the turbo. It gets there quick enough.

Turbo carnage is the best. No need to look any further than the thread about SS diesel pulling tractors.
