You could try contacting goodfellas or rotaryexperimentseven on the forum. They are up in clifton nj and have a garage where they work. Both very nice and knowledgable gentlemen from what I hear. However if you do not have the money to send it to a shop, I don't really know if your going to have enough money to get someone to travel to you to help. Just my .02

KDR is pretty close to you. Talk to Dave or Kim and tell him Ihor and Rich referred you. Otherwise you can bring it to us if they are too booked.

If it won't rev past 6500 it's not a boost problem.

If you can bring the car to me (Harrisburg) I'll try to assess the boost issues. But if you've got stuck injectors or something preventing it from running under any load I dunno if that will help.
