Default Oil pressure problem??

Ok I changed my followers n stem seals! Started her up n she run quite!
Prior to this the oil light was flickering every now n then!
Boost felt poor and didnt hold !
Checked oil n it was real low
Topped her up n the followers r still tappin!
Looked inside and now the oil pressure light is on constant !
Also as I put clutch in it wants to cut out, it drops to 500 rpm n lower sometimes!
I assume ther is no oil geting to the top of my engine or feeding turbo! Hence lack of boost! Yet psi still reaches 10 but car doesn't feel no where near as it did!
Will a flush n few oil changes sort this?
Please help!

first things first put an oil pressure gauge in it and check what ur exact pressures are.
oil light coming on at idle isn't good though tbh.
