| Turn on ignition key, then off a couple times to build fuel pressure. CHECK FOR LEAKS! The final check before starting the engine should be to ensure that you didn't forget to put engine oil in! Then just start the engine. Check that you have oil pressure, the stock gauge is fine for this. No priming necessary. After this, while idling, go check all over the engine for leaks, etc. Let it warm up. Then check your timing. While checking timing, ensure that all your cylinders are firing. The CAS should be near the center of the adjustment when timed correctly. After that, take the car for a spin, with low boost at first. Run the RPMs up and let off the gas to allow the engine to do the braking, hence creating maximum vacuum. Do this a number of times. Then change the oil. Personally, I would change the oil again after the first 100 miles. Keep checking for leaks during this time. Turn up the boost and have fun.
