E170 bleed air

People's Viennaline operate an Embraer 170, OE-LMK s/n 00150. I hear it has more powerful engines to enable it to operate more comfortably at Altenrhein, with the surrounding high terrain.
This higher power setting apparently means that the bleed air pressure is higher than normal, with an adverse effect on some galley equipment.
Can anybody confirm this - or even give specifics of the exact pressure the higher rated engines produce? Many thanks!
