Okay if you put your hand over the turbo, while someone cranks the truck should it suck your hand to the turbo. If it should mine does not and would like to here some feed back on possible problems.

If it starts when you're doing that, get used to not having fingers.

There SHOULD be a bit of suction there just cranking but use paper or something....not your hand.
