Message	pull the eng ing/fuel pump relay right infront of the battery and crank it over for 5-8 seconds a few times, this will get the oil pressure up and flowing around in the engine before you actually start it. You dont want to start your car up when all the oil has drained back to the oil pan, especially on a turbo car. And if its going to be sitting for a long time again i would pull the negative battery cable to prevent discharge and maybe jack it up and put it on stands to prevent flat spots in the tires. But if you can it would be better to start it up and give it a spin on a regular baisis. ---------------------------------------------------- I GOT AN ENGINEERING INTERNSHIP!
