Do i need an oil pump?

Hi guys...
In the last week my car started to die

My mechanical told me that the turbo is whistilng like an ambulance and there´s a knock knock sound in the valve cover (in the left), he took off the oil cap of the valve cover and told me that it is not lubricating... (no oil warning at my dash).
I know the thread about the timming chain (chain tensioner) in the 2007-2008.. but some ''mechanical'' said that it will not be a problem to hear the knock knock at the mornings... but now with this problem of oil and reading this thread... https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...n-to-snap.html

I can guess that it was the problem.. my turbo is death (i got a jcw turbo to make the swap) but now i need to find and fix the real problem... can it cause the dead of the turbo??, what do you think that i need to check?

Thanks :(
