How do you know if your getting enough oil from the oil sending unit to your turbo? Will there be enough oil sent up to the turbo? After the turbo install, do you have to add some oil into the oil feed of the turbo housing before you start the car or will it automatically be fed up from your oil sending unit?

Its a REALLY good idea to make sure you are getting oil to your turbo before driving around on it. After you start the car and let it run for a bit, turn it off then undo the oil feed line and be ready to catch the oil that comes out with a cup. If there is oil, great. Just put the oil back in the engine and you are set. If no oil, you just saved yourself from buying a new turbo.
As for getting oil through the turbo before running it, you just need to prime the engine. Take out the fuse for the motor (top left on the fuse box), and turn the ignition for a good 30 seconds. The car will push oil through all the lines and your turbo will be primed and ready for boost.
