Default Problems with car, please help! (turbo LS in EG)

Hey guys, I'm having some problems with my car it seems to idle to low and just dies if you let revs drop. When you give it gas under 3k rpm it sputters for awhile until you give it like 25% throttle. Setup is: 95 LS block, 97 LS head, SApexi AFC-II, centerforce dual friction clutch, B16 tranny, full race exhaust manifold, mitsubishi 16G turbo 12psi, upgraded axels, 2.5 exhaust all the way back.

Also, the oil light flickers on and off sometimes and I have no idea what is causing this, I'm taking it to a shop on saturday but would like to possibly fix some of this my self. Is the Apexi SAFC-II sufficent or should i invest in another ecu program? this is my first turbo car, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

the oil light flickering is no good, check your oil and make sure you have enough, usually its from low pressure caused by lack of oil, and sorry to break it to you, but as soon as it starts flickering, expect a rod bearing to go out very soon especially if the light has flickered on and off more then a couple of times

what is your base timing set at, and what do you have your fuel % set at on your safc? has your car been tuned, it sounds like lack of timing or too much fuel down low which would cause your stuttering
