Today I took the first step of starting the engine and stumbled right away.
Poured 3 qts of oil in and started cranking with the plugs off. Checked the
oil and it was down. Means that the oil pump primed right away.
Overall it took about 7 qts. The bad part is that I had the turbo oil feed
(original steel tube setup) disconnected and waiting for the oil to show up
- no luck? I attached a clear hose and tried to pull vacuum, but I can hear
the air whistling in the oil filler tube. I'm suspecting something wrong
with the oil pressure valve, but also want to hear from the experts.

What you are saying I think is you are getting no sign of oil at point A?
Fill me in here Bulent. What have you done if anything back by the oil filter mount?
Has the engine been apart? Perhaps some oil gallery O rings are missing.
