There was a write up on this in European Car about 5 months ago. The taps you cut into on the harness are inputs into the ECU. The Boost controller's circuitry alters these inputs (probably resistor dividers or similar) to fool your ECU into providing higher boost based on the skewed inputs. You'll still have turbo lag and other effects. The tricky part is you have to splice some T connections into a few wires in the ECU harness, route them through the dashboard and out to the controller box.

Is it reliable? it'll give you additional boost. All the reliability implications with running the car at higher than OEM boost (as with a chip)still apply. Same goes for dealer warranty service, I would think.

Is there a way to revert the connection made to the harness back to stock if needed?

You have to cut into the wire's insulation, so you can disconnect, but it is visible.
