pre-oiling after oil change
In my previous turbo vehicles after an oil change. You would have to unplug the ignition coil wire and crank the engine for a few seconds to get the oil primed. I was wondering if there is something I could unplug in the SVX and please don't tell me all six coils.

I have never heard of this being necessary for the SVX. I imagine with turbo cars it may be. All you have to do with the svx is start it to fill the filter and wait until the oil light goes off.

It's not even necessary on my car.
On a sidenote - when I did my turbo/injector swap and everything was put back together I unplugged the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor and cranked the car (doesn't start). This primes the turbo by getting oil up through the lines so it's not running dry for those first couple seconds. |

Nothing like that is needed. If you want, since the oil filter sits vertically, you can fill the filter with oil before you mount it. That would help speed things along.
