Turbo Installed.....

Hey guys I just got done installing the Banks turbo in my pickup. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I am going to a shop to get the crossover pipe connected properly (yeah, I couldnt make it fit and chopped it.....) and welded since right now it has flexible pipe holding it together. I also need to get the pipes put on while its there.....
I started it up tonight and let it idle for a few minutes and it seemed to run a LITTLE rougher than normal. Is that normal initially? Granted it has sat unused for a few weeks so maybe that is part of it. Should I be worried about running it without any exhaust after the downpipe? I am waiting on the rest of the exhaust in the mail.....
Any thoughts and tips about being a new turbo guy are welcome!!!!
Oh and I havent turned up the fuel yet.....it was dark and my wife wanted me to be done since I havent seen her ALL weekend.....
Thanks
Thad
