What oil pressure sender do you have? A "real" or a "dummy" gauge? I know oem your car would have the dummy, but it's a nice upgrade to have the real sensor.
Also, i'm assuming the car was running when you saw there was no oil pressure? What did the engine sound like, excessively noisy? If there was really no pressure you would probably be able to hear it.

Lars had similar problem on exactly the same kind of engine:

dunno if same or not, but worth reading about it.
also its really weird to me how it was fine then suddenly lost all oil pressure after the oil change. that's just really really not likely. if an oil pump or gears go, I'd think it would be during driving or boost or something. not working 1 second, turn off, and suddenly no pressure. that's just............weird
Something is clogged. Or stuck open.

Nope. He said he started it and it was super loud after the oil change, and it was barely squeezing oil out of the filter hole when he yanked it again. that = no oil pressure.
It might be stuck relief valve on the oil pump. Or something coulda got in there and clogged it. Or maybe the oem oil pump actually did take a dump, but I highly doubt that. A pump doesn't blow up with the engine off lol
