For those of you who own a bridge engine. You can installed an air regulator between the fitting on the cylinder head and the boost sensor and set the air regulator to a maximum air pressure of 31lbs. So the ECM will see the real boost pressure until it reach 31psi and then if you have 34psi or so on it will not derate the engine and logged code 25, boost pressure not responding properly.

By any chance, would you have the brand name, and/ or model of the regulator that you installed; that seems like a great idea!

The above sounds like my kinda luck, not just a simple R & R type of job.
Went to a mechanic (ex-Cat, now independent), that I often question, (pester), for info, while waiting for him to finish with some paying customers, I noticed he had a B model "junker", with the exhaust manifold still on- turbo was off, and most manifold stud nuts were removed. 10 minutes, and $0.00 later I was out his driveway grinning like a possum.

I'll look around, the regulators I'm thinking of are kinda large, and alot of them are made of plastic, don't know how they'll hold up under the hood. I have seen some metal ones that are adjustable, and physically quite smaller; made a little different from the more common regulator, and that's what I'd like to install; they look pretty tough.

You need one that you can push the button to lock it to be sure that it will not diasjuted.
I've done some with plastic one and no problems.

Found a pretty good selection at Surplus Centers site, (why can't I post a link to that site ?)
I'm guessing that a "relieving" type is necessary here, but will have to wait till my truck is here to see if I need the 1/8", or 1/4" ports.

Do you mind me asking why you would want to run a C-15 that high. That is too many Rs for an inline 6. But thats my opinion.
