See if the throttle plates are opening all the way, a 3 fd with a blown apex seal will go that fast .How high will it rev in the lower gears , how much boost do you get??

Where did you get the engine from Japanese rx7's are limited to 115 mph, Did you dad do anything with the ecu ??? if so there is one wire on the ecu that needs to be cut to deristrict it. Don't what one

115mph is only 4600rpm in 5th gear with stock rims. Unless your ecu is screwed, you got major problems...
Can you rev past 4600rpm in lower gears?
what boost are you running?

That's what you get for having your uncle build your engine 
...sorry to make fun in a time of crisis but I had to...
Probably should check
- compression
- boost
- plugs

maybe there is something wrong with your secondary turbo. Is it kicking in/boosting? Check everything. I'm not the one to give advice but I would say ask someone else about that.

I think you have a bigger problem than a loose vacuum line or bad turbos. A car with the aerodynamics of the FD would only require about 100 hp to go 115 mph. You either have some sort of ecu issue or your engine is hosed.
