It is an OCR, overboost code regulator. The trucks computer will back the fuel off if boost gets too high, kinda along the same idea as a rev limiter. The OCR will stop the computer from seeing full boost and start to defuel if you boost too high. Riffraff makes the OCR and other companies make one but name it differently.
