Focus st wont go over 4000 revs and the turbo gauge goes into red what is it?

There are a few potential causes for this issue:

* Boost leak: A boost leak can cause the turbocharger to overboost, which can lead to the turbo gauge going into the red. Check all of the hoses and connections in the boost system for leaks.

* Faulty wastegate: The wastegate is responsible for regulating the boost pressure. If the wastegate is not functioning properly, it can cause the turbocharger to overboost. Check the wastegate for damage or obstructions.

* Faulty turbocharger: If the turbocharger is damaged or worn out, it can cause the turbo gauge to go into the red. Check the turbocharger for leaks or damage.

* Engine management system issue: The engine management system is responsible for controlling the turbocharger. If there is a problem with the engine management system, it can cause the turbocharger to overboost. Check the engine management system for any error codes.

If you are not able to identify the cause of the problem yourself, you should take your car to a qualified mechanic.
