Today seems like a good day to pull my celi out of the garage biggrin.gif I havent started it in 3 or 4 weeks, is there anything I should do before i try cranking her?

Also while am here, I was just doing some maintenance work prior to getting a tune:
-spark plugs
-dizzy cap and rotor arm
-changed oil
-flushed and replaced coolant
-Vacuum lines
-Cleaned all grounds
-degunked intercooler

Anything else i should adress before visiting the tunner?

ist not just the turbo. all the oil drains out of the head of the motor, and if you dont prime it, it will run without any oil for a few seconds. its not the end of the world, but it will wear on your motor much faster.

Ah I did not know that, and when i beat on my car while driving, i baby it with maintenance so i surely will prime it up. I dont have a oil psi gauge (yet) so ill just do about 30 sec worth of cranking like you advised.

As far as tune prep. should i change any gaskets or retorque any bolts ?
