On starting the new turbo for the fist time, is it necessary to use an additive? I'm told a brand new turbo will come with a heavy lube installed for start up. It is possible to fill the turbo with engine oil or do you need the additive? Can you use one of the hyper lubes available in parts stores?

Most turbos have oil in them when manufactured and tested. So no additive is needed.
