The only way it can rev that high is if there is an air leak. Check the throttle isn't stuck slightly open & throttle body loose / inlet manifold loose. Also check any hoses fitted to the manifold (idle valve etc). Also check the boost hoses for any possible leaks.

How about checking the throttle cable - is it snagged or stuck ?
