Default oil pressure help...wtf is going on??

ok so i took off the turbo for the winter/emmissions and routed my oil feed line into my oil return line. and now my car wont start, and when i do start it it feels like the motor is REALLY sick. so could my computer be thinking that my motor isnt getting enough oil pressure, and thats why its not starting? i am going to take the oil T fitting off and put my oil pressure sensor in its original location and plug up the oil return with a nut or some ---- to see if that works. could this be the cause? all opinious are welcome. thanks

If you have your feed line directly draining into the pan you are flowing a TON of oil from the pressure side to the pan. Im sure you have very very low oil pressure because of that. Just get a plug for the end of the feed line. I wouldnt try to start it how it is.

well that wont cause your car "not to start" however you will have oil starvation problems like that. It will be shooting majority of the oil throught he feed line back into the pan making a loop, which will cause in low oil pressure readings. Like mentioned above, just cap off the feed line and block the return line as well becaues you dont want ---- getting inside there.

As far as your starting problem that could be several different things
