Here is my setup:

skunk2 I/M, 70 mm bbk TB
denso iridium ik20 (colder plugs for c/r)
headers 4-1
vafc 2
p28 ecu (ebay chip... just for rev limiter)

The car is runnig great, pull the gears fast but cant rev over 7800 rpm, i tried everything (timming, fuel, another chips)and the same thing. any idea please let me know to try it!! thanks. by the way i just one to reach 8.5k with my setup i know i can do it.

of course i did!! some people here are revving Dīs at 9k rpm with stock rods guys... beleived or not... its not a valve float what happened on my engine.. its working great.. i think is timing, the engine has 245 psi of compression exactly in all 4 cilinders, afrīs 12.5 wot.. today i will try go down a little bit to 12.0 - 12.2 on 6k to 8.5k to see, if not i will try timming now im ussing 10* for high compression, i let you know...

Lol did you check first off to see what rev limit the ebay chip was set at? IMO ebay chips are pure garbage, almost as bad as the one guy that used to be on there selling resistors to jump across the service connector as an ecu mod. :P
