i just started the car as normal, it will see get oil pressure at the moment you start cranking unless your oil feed line is very long

same effect of unplugging the injectors and the safety of no fuel pump activation too. i unplug the ecu for a few things; ecu reset, compression tests, and priming the oil/collant system for the turbo since mine is water cooled but not as important as oil is.
