Narrative:

On approach into new york's laguardia airport; runway 31; we experienced a wind shear event that caused a go around. During the go around we were assigned an altitude of 3000 ft. Upon reaching 3000ft the captain asked for me to request a block of airspace from ATC because we were struggling to keep proper pitch and wings level attitude in moderate turbulence. Due to workload and ATC congestion I was unable to make the request and one updraft ballooned us to an altitude that was approaching 3200 feet. Once we got to a higher; and slightly smoother altitude we handled the bleed one over pressure that had occurred at application of max thrust during the wind shear event; and assessed the situation. We thought it best to divert to jfk for more favorable conditions. We landed uneventfully.
