I'd suggest asking him for his thoughts.

Unfortunately, in the great white north, driving a turbo is associated with awful consequences, like being smashed to bits or stuck in a snowbank.
I checked with my dealership and they only suggested attaching a trickle battery charger, filling the gas tank full and over inflating the tires.....any other suggestions?

Aren't you better off doing one of the following?
1. Store with old oil and level slightly lower than normal. This way, come spring start up, you can add a small amount of fresh oil to give new fresh coverage/coating, then change oil after running to temp and burning off any condensation.
2. Change oil in spring just before running. Or, if you must run before changing, doing as you suggest, taking out fuse/relay, letting pressure build up and then start. Changing oil soon there after.

I've always been told this was a no no because by changing the oil before storage you are allowing for the potential of condensation build up in your new oil.

Wrong. Change the oil BEFORE it goes into storage. Imagine if you will that there is some moisture present in the old oil. With it sitting for 4 months without getting started up and heated up it will cause problems. Winterizing means replacing fluids up front.
