Before securing the oil line to the top of the filter housing I used a funnel and prefilled some of the oil passages. Between that and filling the filter I was able to precharge the oil system with almost two quarts of oil.
The turbo is now installed for good. I turned the wastegate diaphram around and shortened the boost hose, installed a 3" adapter on top of the oil filter housing that allowed the oil line to sit farther away from the manifold extention, and fabricated the oil drain piping. The drain hose is 400psi, 500 degree oil line. Also, by fiddling with the placement of the turbo compressor outlet I was able to eliminate one of the 45 degree silicone pieces I originally had in the air line to the intercooler.
