Sorry for the questions.
It was the high boost that made the MAP sensor confused which gave the PCM bad info that was causing the defuel or loss of power.

Some trucks make more boost with more mods and never have this problem. so its pretty hit and miss.

Max boost is hard to pin point for different trucks. My stock 95 made 20psi out of the box. My current truck with mods sees a max of 32-33. Boost depends on alot of things. Stock boost is around 15 psi.

IICR thats is about right Tim.
Over 24psi will set a CEL? I have/use a blow off valve not a regulator.

No CEL for overboost on the OBS that I know of.

Not sure what the book says to test but the easiest way it to unplug the electrical connector and run the truck. if it runs better then you need a new sensor.
