It works fine for low boost (7-8 psi). If you're looking to run more, you should look into uberdata/hondata/AEM EMS/etc.
<------running the blue box @ 8 psi, daily driven, no problems

I ran a blue box once and it made my car run horribly. I would press down on the gas pedal and it would take a second or two for the car to even respond; it just never ran right for me. I just ditched it and ran a boost dependent fuel pressure regulator with a missing link MAP bypass, and my car has run great ever since.

I ran the blue box for 1.5 yrs daily driven (over 60 miles each day). I recently switched it out in favor of Hondata b/c i wanted to raise my boost and have more peace of mind w/ tuneable fuel mgmt.
Downsides of the blue box was it ran really rich, untunable, and did not take boost timing retard into consideration. For a reliable setup, I trust the Blue box @ stock psi, colder plugs, and retarded timing @ the distributor.
But seriously, too many people talk **** about the blue box w/o first hand experience, but hey, whats new? This is h-t.
Hope that helps.

i've been using the blue box for a more than a couple of years now. It works great. Perfect for a daily driven car. Never had any problems at all.
