WHAT's going on with my car.

Guys what would my car react like it my car primary stock turbo was going bad or failing. First of all my rmp guage is always on 4K rpm's when it's on, When I drive it will start at 4K rpm's and wont go down, so when I touch the gas it will start to boost so my car is hella fukd. Dude I'm so fukn mad, this **** is ***?
hope u guys can help me, even my boost guage read negative -5 bar. man hope I can get some help.

check your cruise control cables and gas pedal at the Throttle body.

I had a friend that the cruise control got messed and would rev the engine out. Make sure there is slack and isnt' tight.

there could also be a big vacuum leak but i doubt it.

You have a leak somewhere, your rpm is high because extra air is getting in somewhere, check where your upper manifold meets your lower one, next to the turbos, If I'm correct then it'll just be a case of locating the leak and sealing it, if not, well your probably F**KED!!!

BTW.. Vacuum is read in mmHg, not bar. There is no possible way your car is pulling a vacuum like that.
