Default HELP with turbo setup and low oil press

my car starts and everything. i got a custom setup. t3 off a svo. tial, custom pipes and dp. and everything. the car starts but it idles like crap and we got it down to the oil pressure. the gauge barely climbs. its not even at 10. its a autometer gauge. everything is tapped right. i got a 1/8" male fitting bout 1 1/2" long into the block. a "T" fitting and in the first T i got the oil feed and another 1/8 male adapter to another "T". on the 2nd T i got the stock oil press and the autometer press tapped in. we think it may be the oil feed line. it is barely enough and i have it tapped and wrapped around the oilpan back up the front of the motor into the turbo, its a little tight and making a sharp turn right before it gets to the turbo. you guys gotta help me out here...i'm going nuts....its been 4 days

i had everything "tapped right" as as well and wouldnt' you know it, i had a small metal shaving in my oil feed line to the turbo. it wasn't until after I blew one turbo and put a pressure sensor on my inlet to my turbo that i found out!
