I have to drive almost 200 miles to get to my tuner. I tried running my setup with the chiped ECU in my car and have had nothing but trouble with the performance and the plugs. The chip I have is just a basemap. Would I be better off running the OEM ECU to get to the tuner, or should I run the chiped ECU?

yea i vote to take the charge pipe off and drive it non turbo. safest way to go
Does anyone think I would be better off using the chip in the link below, instead of my basemap?

DO NOT RUN THAT. you'd be better off with a stock ecu i think
+1 on using the stock ECU and removed pipe. Then ur tuner can make the changes.
put your stock injectors back in for the ride to the tuner...and why are you using a stock fuel pump? You know your not really going to make any power because of that right?
good call, i didnt even read that.. OP: you should be around 50-60psi for fuel pressure.
Why would he want to have such a high base fuel pressure? There is no need for it to be that high.
Also, I would suggest putting your stock injectors in the car with the stock ecu and just limp the car to the tuner. You should have no problem staying out of boost as long as you are easy on the throttle.
