DCS P47D-30 Lacks a manifold pressure regulator

Currently the P-47 is far more susceptible to overboost and can overboost above 64" under a wide set of conditions because the aircraft is modeled without a manifold pressure regulator. Images attached in the above thread show the available and part numbers of the missing regulator and its installation on the aircraft and instructions for installation on aircraft as early as the P47C in contrast to the version modeled in DCS erroneously without one.   

The regulator should keep manifold pressure at or below maximum (64" wet) for most or all of the flight envelope with the throttle full open 100 percent.

P-47D’s boost control omits a MP regulator. P-47 does not have one at all. Only a turbo regulator but this is to release back pressure gases to avoid cracking or reverse loads on the turbo bearings.

You can find evidence for this in any 47 manual, as they frequently mention inadvertent “overboost” due to inattention to manifold pressure, or pilot error.

overboost consequences are actually generous according to DCS -you can go over redline for a while. In real life, manuals state even a few seconds will cause detonation and subsequent premature failure of the engine. 
 

If you want better understanding of this, I can look for the appropriate physical documentation in my possession.
