If you are going to remove the turbo, put righ now some Krylon, PBblaster, WD40 or anything you have, to the bolts and nuts, then again tomorrow and so on, before you try to unbolt it. OK?

When i get around to pulling it, upon reinstalling the turbo, do i have to prime the turbo with oil before cranking the truck?

I never do, it runs at-least 10 mins before it even gets moved the first time i crank it during a day, and it normally runs 5 or so after that
