thanks for the replys guys....i got a extra temp sensor im going to install and let it sit there.....so i looked around and came up with these answers for my first 2 questioms...
just hook them both up to a vacuum sorce around the intake... is this correct?.. also i read somewere not to tee off the fuel regulator..cause it will cause a lean condition???? i dont belive this will happen but i did read it in the faqs

alright guys my turbo is installed and it hits a little bit over 10psi with open downpipe...but as soon as the boost maxs out the car wont rev past that... maxs out at about 4-5k...what could be the problem?.....i, thinking the spring is to tight... cause it starts spooling at about 2k...what do u guys think

Lean condition, running out of fuel, or rich condition, too much fuel. What are you using for fuel management? If you turn the settings up too high on a s-afc it wont rev. If the fuel pump cant keep up or the injectors are too small it will run out of fuel and wont rev. You can usually spot a rich condition by the black smoke coming out of the tail pipe. Any CELs or codes?
