How long was the engine running without any lubrication?

I would inspect the turbo just for the hell of it, might as well eliminate the small stuff first.

ok i shut the car down as soon as i seen the guage drop. i wasnt far enough off the road so i started it up and moved it a foot and shut it off was not running long enough for probs i dont think maybe 3 seconds. the engine light comes on and the code comes back as an os sensor but it goes away and comes back every so often and when the car is not warm or i just start it in the morning i get full boost. i noticed the ticking noise when my friend pulled the recirc tube off and went down the street and back withg out plugging it off? its back on but what could that hurt? the car is still ruinning really hot!

i have replaced a lot of little things what else could it be what are the effects of a warped head, bad turbo , or a bad intercooler

Your lifter tap may well be a rod knock. The motor may be toast.

well i have a stethoscope and i listned to the valve cover and its louder by the bottom right of it and it is also really loud when i have it on the exhaust mani on the number 1 spot.

is my oil cooler bad? i

ALL WATER TO OIL COOLERS ARE BAD~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!

thx for throwing that out there it actually sounds like it i will replace it with a 90 eclipse air to oil cooler or i will get and after market one is there any way to get an aftermarket one and still have that on there with the filter and just block off all the radiator hoses goin to it and get an aftermarket one and hook it up to that one???

ok well you were right i did have the pos water cooler which i removed and bypassed the coolant hoses and put an aftermarket oil cooler on it. car runs cool now no overheating problems at all. I also took all my lifters out and cleaned them really good because of what i though was lifter tap. well i put all them back in and i still here a noise right before boost like a loud cricket noise, then when i was driveing home i wasnt getting full boost and my noise was alot louder. so i out the stethoscope on and poked it around on my valvecover, head, turbo, intake, and the exhaust manifold. it was the loudest on the exhaust mani all the way over to the right. this is also where i have to exhaust mani bolts broke off at. it leaks but very little. the noise im here is not from leaking i dont think because this noise sounds a lot different than a leaking gasket. any ideas????
