Default help please, oil light flickers never seen this before

okay i have a turbo on my civic right and i heard that 15-w50 is a good oil for turbo hondas. so i did the change parked it, go to drive it tonight and the oil light flickers on and off.

so i change the sending unit, change oil back to 5-w30, and it doesnt come on at an idle or when im driving.

but if i just barely give it a slight pop on the throttle(SAFC says like 2%) real quick, the rpms drop to like 600, and the oil light blinks but goes back off when the rpms go back to normal idle.

is this just like an almost stalling thing, and the oil pressure just gets low at that rpm??

what is normal idle oil psi? my book says 10@idle 50@3000??

i hooked up a gauge and @ idle i make 16psi.

when i pop the gas its just barely like an 1/8 of an inch, is my car just going thru stalling procedures or am i screwed, the motor only has like 2000 miles since it was built up.

it never comes on at any time, i have no noise from my motor other than normal.

HELP PLEASE
