This might be the last and final post I make on here.

Bad bad news. The oil light that went unnoticed by everyone including myself turned out to be very real and not due to a damaged sensor.

After the initial panic, I opened the turbo feed lines and I found oil in there.

Turbo drain lines? Nothing there but tiny drops.

Turbo inlets? Dust on the driver side

I guess I'm in denial at the moment but the worst case scenario is probably what happened.

No oil pressure due to something magical, followed by the turbos oil starving and the engine grinding itself slowly (it still sounds perfect somehow)

I will drop the pan tomorrow to see if that is the case. I will post back on here if I got lucky by an act of god.

Thanks everyone for your support along this dream project of mine! I couldn't have gotten this far without you guys.I guess I should of listened to the older members on here so I wouldn't be in such a horrible situation.
