They put a regulator in the line to prevent the sensor from seeing more boost. That way they can tell the map what they want and not the actual boost pressure.

well idk about the whole trans thing, i think the trans is rated at like 850 ft lbs... but i know for a fact that the stock torque converter is rated at 750 ft lbs... and if the torque converter goes, it throws metal into the trans, ruining the trans, and my trans hasn't slipped once so i think my trans will be fine till next summer (i always go VERY easy in the winter so no worries about pushing it then..) that is once i get my torque converter 
and with the valve body that should help it survive a little longer, till i get some more green

If that were true then they'd be building the transmissions to hold over 2 times the stock tq, i dont think any manufacturer over builds something that much. IMO your playing with fire, trust me stage 2's and stock trans dont play well together.
it should have enough in there to get a complete tranny/torque converter

you can hit boost that high with AD splits, stage 1 and above. I was hitting 33 PSI before the IC with AD's and was getting the defuel. It feels much more like a gassers rev limiter but I installed the regulator and it won't do it any more. So with the line relocation and the regulator I am hitting boost fast and longer! My poor poor turbo! Still 6 months left on the warrantee!

It seems that some truck do and some don't. once you get your chip you might notice it but you might not also. the great thing is that its cheap and easy to fix if you do encounter it.
