From my expirience you just make sure the oil filter is full disconect the fp fuse and crank it for 30 seconds might be longer for the coolant ...but i just installed an fp black and starting her up tom! I'm gonna call forced performance and see what he recomends i'll post up what he says tom.

 

awesome post up wat they say and see if same steps go wit the red install !!

 

Just keep the car out of boost and you should be fine. Also doesnt hurt to double check all the nuts and bolts you lossened as well, in the end its your car you know it best if something feels wrong or sounds out of place turn it off asap.

 

wanted to ask sicne im getting my 60k maint. kit installed by my tuner hes cahrging quite alot loll so i thought since i got the whole turbo assembly out the way and room to work could i replace the water pump myself ?? and have my tuner basically do all the belts and fluid changes ??

 

Talked to fp he said to disconect all four injectors and crank for 30 seconds at 5 second intervals. He also strongly recommended to run 20w50 bradpenn or royal purple xpr.

 

Yup just stay out of boost, some people say to crank it to get oil flowing, but a lot also say its fine to just start her up. I'm lazy and just start my cars up after turbo swaps and i've never had any negative effects. Looks like a nice build though!

 

I drive like a grandma for 2weeks with no tune and developed.rod knock shortly after...

 

The most I would do is drive it to the place ue getting a tune

 

I actually asked this question to a shop and they said it was fine as long as you do not go into hard boost. Below 5 psi ok..

 

I have almost the same mods as you and I am not tuned yet as well. Matter a fact, I am still breaking in exedy triple disk clutch as well so I've driving my car at low rpms; I shift around 2500-3000 rpms. I'm finally gonna be getting tuned this upcoming weekend and I'm hoping for around the same power output as you are hoping for, around 430-450 whp.
