Michael,
They are somewhat adjustable. Don't know the max of each one. There are many designs. A screw in the top is all it takes to adjust the aircraft type.
It is there to protect the engine and turbo from overboost from when the throttle gets slamed shut or some other non-typical but occasional emergency' event.
