Make sure to preoil the turbo through the oil inlet first and spin the compressor wheel a little bit to get a little oil through. As for priming you could always pull the ignition or fuel and crank the motor ~30 seconds at a time minimum 3 times. If you disable the fuel pump, make sure there is no fuel in the lines for the engine to actually start.

You probably don't even need to prime it but make sure your preoil the turbo.
