stop pushing your car, simple as that. why would you run a map tuned for 93 octane (even a base map at that) and continue to still go WOT. Just take it easy until you earn the money for the tune. You will enjoy the car more and it will be a whole lot safer.

would a stage 2 map for 91 octane be better for a stage 3 setup? i wasn't sure, and the boost maps are different, so.........

a base map is supposed to be good everywhere and still be safe......isn't that what the accessport is? essentially?

A base map is only good if your car has the "mods" the map was designed for.

There is no point in running a VF34 map on a car with just a TBE, etc.

UTEC base maps tend to not run too well in general because of the static nature of the system. If you're not planning on tuning the UTEC yourself, I highly suggest putting it up for sale and getting either an Ecutek reflash or a Cobb AccessPORT tuned with ProTUNER. I have had several customers who switched from UTEC to a reflash and were extremely happy with the results. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions or would like more details on the differences between UTEC and a reflash.

Thanks
