Default Crazy bad gas mileage

Just installed a Greddy 15g turbo kit on my 99 ex and i can barely get 130 miles out of a half tank driving nicely. I have the Greddy Blue Box right now, and stock injectors. I dont know if I should dump the Blue box and get a vafc??? I just read a post from another person on here saying they took a trip, with another person in the car and some luggage in the trunk and still got almost 400 miles to the tank. I remember those days, now i just want them back to at least 300 miles to a tank nicely driven. What do you all think?? VAFC, or can the Blue Box still work and fix my problem???

yea even on the highway crusing at 65 out of boost, i just watched the gas gauge move off of the F line where usually it would be 75 miles or so until it was past the F line. I think I need to drop the Blue Box and get a vafc or safc. Thanks for the post
