The boost reading is at the manifold, not at the turbo. So, 6 PSI is at the manifold. You don't just add another 6 PSI to make it 12 PSI because of a second turbo.
If you are only at ~7 PSI, you have a problem with your turbo control system. Have you had any work done on the car, like a vacuum hose job?

Check or get someone else to check your turbo related vacuum lines, thats probably where the problem lies.
I bought my Rx-7 with a massive leak at the Y pipe coupler (running 4psi), I thought the car was damn fast already, but when I found out about the leak and fixed it......wow.

Oh, and it doesn't sound like you should be talking to this guy anymore for help with your FD.
but the biggest problem is... it seems like somtimes it have trouble switching to the second stage.. i though it could have been that limitation switch thing.. i shearched the stickys and the page wouldnt come up..
There is no 'limitation switch' in the turbo system except for the double-throttle. It's used to keep the driver from producing much boost until the car gets at least a little bit war. However, IMHO you should be waiting longer than that (a solid 5min of easy driving) before boosting much, or you'll shorten the life of your engine.
i have like 2 and a half months of warranty left on the car.. i just want to know excatly whats going on with the car... so they do try and get over on me or anything..
I agree, if you have a warranty you'd be foolish to not have stuff worked out before it runs out.
