On monday (31st) my car (MY02 WRX) will be going into ASG to get a VF43 turbo, AVO intercooler fitted, to get the injectors de-capped and get it re-tuned.
My question is, by this day, the car will be probably within 150km of being due the next oil change & replacement oil filter.
I have no idea what is involved with changing a turbo and intercooler, but correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that at some point it will involve the disconnection one or some oil lines.
So, if this is the case, would I be better waiting until I get the car back before doing the change thus limiting the loss of my new oil, or would the oil loss be neglegiable so I should do it before so have fresh oil in the car for when the have it on the dyno???

Just get them (ASG) to do it at the same time following the turbo swap.

oil loss it very minimal when disconnecting the oil lines on the turbo. I think I lost maybe one table spoon worth of oil when I did my turbo swap.

Its a good idea to swap the oil out on a turbo change anyway.

Do the oil change and filter change at the same time, you'll lose a bit of coolant too ..

Should have bought an STI

you always want fresh oil in your car when puttin the car on the dyno

^^
What he said - I'm in at ASG on the 3rd (wahoo!) and will definitely have brand new oil in. ALways a good idea to have a service before a bit of punishment on a dyno.
