Default Can a GReddy blue box hold up to 10lbs of boost?

Simple question...Can a GReddy blue box handle 10 lbs of boost without hurting the car? I'm running stock internals and I was wondering if it would be okay with a custom set up...ThankS..

I'm not 100% sure. I know the stock MAP sensor can't take more than 11psi, so that's a limiting fact prett close. If it can't handle 10psi, you should give it to me! I've been looking for one because I'm wanting to make my own fuel/boost management and wanna see how this deal works, exactly...

If using the FCU yes because it has a map limiter in buit in.

From what people have told me, the blue box can't handle ANY PSI!

I dont have Greddy Blue Box.. On my Civic, I run 10 pound of boost with Profec B... I dont think there is anything wrong with it.. I put GSR injectors on Hayame Fuel rail, BBK fuel Pump, and Greddy Fuel PRessure Regulator... It can handle 10 pound of boost.. Oh I bought 2.0 MM Greddy headgasket and my friend will install it... Anyway happy turbo!!!

DON'T DO IT. the greddy blue box DOES NOT ADD ANY MORE FUEL past 7psi.

you WILL blow your motor. i GUARANTEE it.

The blue box held my A/F ratio at 12.5:1 at 8 psi of boost with stock injectors in my '95 EX. It had the D16Z6, greddy turbo kit, and stock eclipse intercooler. Straight pipe, no cat, and Greddy EVO exhaust.

In my current car, '92 VX with a SOHC VTEC and the greddy kit, I'm using the blue box with RC 310's and using a B&M FPR to tune the A/F ratio. It held a 12.0:1 A/F ratio with 42 psi fuel pressure at 10 psi of boost and 212 whp. It works for me!

the greddy blue box i am sure was instrumental in helping me crack my ringlands at 10 psi. i personally wouldn't take a chance on it.

i heard 7-8psi was the max with the blue box, any beyond that you need better management. even the fmu+inline pump+missing link is probably more reliable (which btw i ran at 10psi)
