Hi, I'm a New Sw20 owner. I need help

Hi i'm new to this place and into this type of car.
I only know so little about mr2 T.
Hope you tech guys/girls can help this newbie out :roll:
Ok, Well to start off, i just bought my 91 mr2 T about 2 weeks ago,
its completely stock with a jap engine. 160k on the body, 30k on the engine.
Concern; My speedometer isn't working no more, i think there's a loose wiring. Also my oil light keeps on displaying. So i figure maybe the jap engine dont have that sensor?..
I also find when the turbo kicks in, i only feel powerful for awhile then its gone.?.. any idea why .
Sorry i just have this last question. might as well bring it out since im here Om my dash i see ABS, But does that mean i have abs? some people told me it should go on when i start my car. I never saw that light on before.. Plz help this me out. I'm sorry for my grammar. hope you guys understand. Thank you very much.

Speedometer problem probably a loose wire, or crunched speedo gear...nothing else that can really go wrong with those.
To my knowledge, Toyota oil lights is for dirty oil...change the oil and see what happens.
Turbo suddenly losing pressure? Only explination is the internal wastegate...possibly stuck, or have faulty silenoid.
ABS light means you have ABS. The ABS light should turn on when you start your car, and turn off after a few seconds. If it stays on, you have problems.

Your car looks like it should be looked after by a mechanic...before you put it on the road.
