Looking for the capabilities or advise on a setup im trying to do using the Arduino uno. I have a project where I will be using 1 pressure switch analog input, 1 10k pot to vary the pressure switchs input up or down, 1 5 pin servo to control the device im building this for the pin out on the servo is 1 and 2 or power 3 is hall sensor gnd 4 is VGT position signal 5 is hall sensor pos. Now it will have the three inputs pressure sensor, pot, and servo position control, the output im looking for will control a 13A motor control that needs a direction wire, signal wire, and ground. My main question or concern is can the Ardunio uno take in the pressure switch input go to the pot read the servo position and move the motor in a Linear fashion up or down with the pressure switch readings?? I have looked for this with no luck even though I'm sure it is somewhere any help will be appreciated!
Yes it can.
Got a link to the 5-pin servo? Your description is confusing.
Make list of your ins & outs.
Standard Arduino can have 6 analog inputs, 14 digital IO. Analog inputs can be used as digital IO as well.
Do you have less than 6 analog ins? Less than 14 other? Then you'll be all set.
The picture is the only info I actually can find on the servo.
Inputs will be
Pressure switch
10k pot
Servo position control
Output will be
Motor control for a Cytron 13A, 5-25V Single DC Motor Controller
If you can't tell im kind of new to this hints why im asking for help but like I had said I can't find any info on this kind of setup only how to make LEDs light up or make a motor run not put all of this in order to run together.

That's not a "traditional" servo.
It might take some experimentation to figure-out how it works (voltages, etc.). Since it appears to be automotive, I assume it runs off 12V. It will probably require an H-bridge DC motor driver.
And, you'll need to drive it like a regular DC motor (the servo library won't be of any use).
Is an off-the-shelf turbocharger controller that expensive?
Looks easy to do, but you will need a motor shield with the capability to drive that large current. The Sparkfun Monster Motor Shield should do it.

I have not heard of any off the shelf controllers for these turbo controllers if you know of one I'm all ears? I have the cytron motor control mentioned before and I have it hooked up it works when just using the push buttons on it but if this isn't sufficeint I can always get a shield also? Now I just need the rest of my project hooked up to control it! I can play with it more to see what runs it this weekend, I will still need help programing or writing the code for the Ardunio to run in the linear fashion with pressure rising and falling.
