Best Answer

You do not necessarily need to do so in most factory applications BUT on after market applications you should do 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on the build EI size of Turbo(s) *turbos for twin, bi-turbo and compound*. The bigger the engine/Turbo setup the longer you want your timer set to burn off the oil and impurities. If your running something in the low liter range, stick to the 45-90 second zone which would be anything in the 3.5liter and lower *in my opinion*
