Some last minute questions on Single Install

Just finishing up a GT35R install. Running all the new stainless fuel lines, oil lines and water lines, cutting all the extra connectors on the harness, and installing the resistors and new injector harness.

Quick questions,
can i tape over the resistors? They are in a brass looking case, but i dont know if they will get too hot and melt the tape.

Should i somehow prime the turbo with oil and/or water before firing up the car?

Any tips on installing the motor with the Downpipe and wastegate on already, or should i take them off?

Oh yeah, also got a new low oil sender unit since the wire broke when removing the engine, can i get at it to install the new one after the motor is in?

Thanks for all the help the forum has given me with my many, many searches!!

Oh, one more i forgot:
I have a spec stage 3 6 puck clutch, and lightened SR flywheel, the clutch has no dowel pins into it and the flywheel. Is this OK? Where would i get the 3 dowel pins to put in thee?
Is it a factory item?

The brass looking case is a heat sink, I think taping them up would be a mistake.....
