I would crank it over with a hand held starter to build oil pressure, before letting it try to run on its own. Also, check all of the glow plugs to make sure they work. A simple ohm test works well enough.
If you do need some/all... remove the cruise servo. This makes doing five of the six a breeze.
Aside from that, make sure it has coolant and ATF in the trans. Check to see the air inlet to the turbocharger is clear (no rodent houses).
