Default low oil pressure...

I am having issues with oil pressure after i finished my turbo build... i still have the stock pump but this winter i had to take it off to do a new timing chain... when i first start up the car the it reads 40psi at idle... when it warms up it will read 20psi at idle and i can rev it up some and it will hold about 30-35psi.
idk if there is a pressure issue because it now has to send oil to the turbo and isnt building up as much or if i need a new pump? it was fine before i parked it this past winter.

Check the o-ring on the pump. i dont think the turbo will effect oil pressure.
