Interesting question. Why not just plug the oil feed port until you're ready to spin the blower?

Or just hook everything up like you plan to run it and break in the motor like you normally would on the street with little to no boost pressure.

Either way would be safe. Otherwise - ask Vortech if you can send oil pressure to the head unit when it's static.

You can leave oil feed and drain hooked up it is just gravity drain. also fine to run thru sc nothing to hurt.
