Default 01 cummins rebuilt

After a long hiatus, I have got back on the finising the rebuilt. last year while i had the engine up and running there where some issues. mainly the dead pedal. I verified the fuel pressure and it runs at 15 at idle and aboult 12 at wot. After replacing the VP44 which I thought was bad because of the 0216 code, It still has dead pedal issues. and it keeps throwing a p0236 code. after digging around I discovered something about the oil pressure sender and the MAP sensor. when I rebuild the engine I stripped everything from the block. when reassembling I ran across two sensors that looked Identical the oil pressure sender and the Map sender look the same have the same connector and I got these 2 sensor swaped. I swithched them back and now no codes. I havn't takin it for a test drive yet.
Another issue is with the boost pressure. measured at the intake I only get 3-5 psi and it doesn't increase any til I get in the 2000+ rpm range and then i can onlyt get about 10-12 psi. is this normal for a stock cummins.

distilled white vinegar works great for rust removing. not sure how long the electrolysis process takes but the vinegar takes 1-3 days depending on the amount of rust, and its cheap
