The things you're saying do not sound good...aside from the turbo issue.
1. The oil pressure sending unit closes it's electrical contact at 6-8 psi.
2. At 2000 RPM you should be seeing 35-40 psi, not 28 psi.
3. I know of no valid metric with regards to oil pressure at startup with a cold engine. On mine, a 2000 9-5 Aero with 270K miles, I generally see 80-85 psi. When fully warmed up (20-30 minutes) I see 18-20 psi at idle.
4. By the way, when you hear mechanical noises (like unlubricated parts thrashing away) that's your engine saying goodbye...permanently.
To have the oil pressure light come on while driving down the road at 2000-2500 RPM is not good. It means that at a time when oil pressure should be 35-40 psi...your engine has less that 6 psi!
You could try calling Chuck Andrews for a consult on what to do....now.
