Red. And no just drove...

So got the codes for secondary air pump, misfire in 5, and torque converter and it was flashing and oil is burning.. I think my turbos are out honestly. Guys is this car worth to put new turbos on? And fix it up and drive it? I mean could i upgrade the turbos without upgrading everything else right away? And how easy would it be? Please someone chime in with the knowledge..

Describe the whole of the car? What is good, and what is not.

Year, miles, condition, etc.

Year 2000, 134k , good condition no rust, drives amazing. The digital screen is very blurry. The car doesn't run to 100% i mean it's smooth and everything just the powers not there. You get a smell of burning oil.. now a little smoke. The oil symbol in red is flashing i'm going to probably change it tomorrow.

Sounds worth saving if you want a project.
Oil smell sounds like leaky cam covers, plugs and such. (seems a common issue with these cars.
Oil light would scare me until I knew why it was happening.
I would be tempted to find a fitting to put a mechanical gauge on the car just to see what the real oil pressure is before running it much.
As for why no power, that could be lots of things but will questionable oil pressure, low power may be the only thing saving your motor.

Also i was driving yesterday and all of a sudden it started running very rough with almost no power hardly and the engine light was flashing!

engine light flashing is an immediate 'pull over on the shoulder and turn off the car'. check the timing and see if your valves are good and that your belts didn't skip.

I did that.. then i went and checked codes and above is what came up. Now it's back to driving mediocre.. How hard is it to pull the engine and replace some stuff? I mean if it's not that challenging i might keep it but i don't want a project that's hard to work on.. I'll check timing.

Just keep driving with the oil light "mysteriously" coming on.
I am sure it means nothing.
Actually, I would suggest you drive to auto recycle yards shopping for a new engine.
