Priming oil supply to turbo ATL engine

Morning, ATL engine, I am looking to purge air and prime oil through to rebuilt turbo and want to crank the engine, I find fuse 18 to fuel pump is not in my fuse box. How do I ensure engine not starting while cranking? Any help gratefully receive.
 
There is no electric fuel pump on the diesel A2's as there is only a mechanical tandem pump that is driven off the cam shaft (this sucks the fuel all the way from the tank) and then the high pressure is provided by the injectors themselves. Could you just put oil into the turbo oil inlet manually to make sure that it is not starting dry? I can't see it taking long for the system to purge once you start the engine with the correct amount of oil in the engine
 
Disconnect the injector loom wiring plug. Big knurled round connector that is on the right end of the head. Remember to refit it securely afterwards.
