Will drop the pan and check the pick up tube for any issues while i wait for the sender. just strange it seems to do it at the same point every time only under full throttle and as it shifts to 3rd.
Starting to wonder if there is a cam phaser issue that is creating a massive internal leak at that point. Checked it with my scanner and it is showing both p0012 and p0022 cam sync codes

You are welcome. Sounds like you may have separate issues, as I said I'm not aware of any 0 oil pressure issues with these but anything is possible.
Regarding the cam sync codes, I haven't looked them up but makes me wonder if that is the reason the car was parked... Then makes me ask if you are familiar with the IMS bearing issues on these cars? Could very well be a failing IMS, or a number of other issues within the timing system, bad tensioners, tensioner pads, etc causing them to be out of sync. You may want to pull the valve covers to take a look at things before running it much more. Also I assume that you have done an oil change and checked the filter for IMS debris, correct?
