Massive detonation and low oil pressure

Just for starters I have a disabled knock sensor and the car was performing very well the first day it was gone.

Well NOW the car is detonating for sure. Mostly when I'm in boost. I noticed my oil pressure is alot lower than usual too.(could be sending unit still original one).

Heres my question. If low oil pressure is causing detonation, will the knock sensor take care of it?

I'm scared I'll just be hiding the "low oil pressure" problem when I put the knock sensor back in. Any thoughts or suggestions? What would cause the low oil pressure?
