It wouldn't hurt. An UOA showed some wear metals that developed in my oil when I had a defective 38R. The next analysis cleared up considerably after the turbo change.
After installing the turbo, you can disable starting by unplugging the CPS or pulling the IDM relay. This will allow you to crank the engine and build oil pressure to lube the turbo shaft bearings before running them at speed. Also, check the plug tightness on the top of the center section. I've seen this plug leak after some run time and a heat cycles.

I know that if I was ever planning to do something was in conflict with what Roland recommended doing...well, I would defer to Roland's recommendation. Can't go wrong.If you're already replacing the turbo, the oil change is only a few more minutes work in the overall scheme of things. Why not?
