If you want to keep it on the car as a warning for excessive boost you can adjust the overboost solenoid.

If you dig the goop out of the top, you will find an adjusting screw. IIRC correctly, backing it out ups the boost at which it goes off (I know that's counter-intuitive, but I remember thinking the same thing). Having it as an "oh crap!" warning at 20+# boost might be good to have.
