Default 2000 SI Coupe w/ turbo b20b

Hello everyone. I just joined 3 days ago when I first got the car. I had a 2004 MazdaSpeed Miata w/ some minor mods but decided I wanted something faster and with a little more room. So I got me a 2000 si coupe with a B20B motor. I'm not sure what tranny. And I'm not sure how many miles are on the motor/tranny. But the car has a little over 85k. I was just wondering what you guys thought about it and how much reliable power do you think I could get out of it with my current mods. Here is what the car has on it(that I know of).

It was all installed by Intercrew I blelieve. I have the receipts.

* Greddy turbo kit. TD05H-18G

* B20B motor with a B16 Head. Not sure what other internals it may or maynot have. Dyno'd at 275.70 HP and 234.71 Torque at 11psi(I think). I can't find where it says the amount of boost on the Dyno printout.

* Type R oil pump

* ARP Head stud

* V-Tech oil line kit

* Greddy turbo timer and boost controller

* Greddy exhaust

* AEM fuel rail w/ unknown injectors. I think they say "RC"

* MSD Ignition system

* Hondata ecu

* AEM fuel pressure regulator (does anyone know what this is normally set at for this kind of setup? I think it's at 60 right now(which my friends say is kind of high). And I dont know how big the injectors are.

There are many other things on the car, but this is all I can think of off the top of my head.

Now for the little issues I've been having. Maybe you guys can give me some insight on them.

Every now and then my oil light will flash on for a second or two and then turn back off. And today I think I found the oil pressure sensor just dangling behind the motor(will post pics in a bit). Maybe that's why it's flashing on and off?

And I'm trying to get the car inspected, but the OBDII port isn't working. Could this have something to do with the way they wired in the Hondata? And when they resort to trying to run the car on the dyno to test for emissions it fails horribly.

The engine light also comes on from time to time. But after I shut the car off and come back out the next morning, it's not on anymore.

Right now I'm pretty much running off the wastegate pressure which is 1/2 a bar.

I think the last picture on this post is the oil pressure sensor. Is that right? Could that be why the light flickers on from time to time?
