I don't know if my turbo glows red because of the heat. I haven't checked it after spirited drives. Turbo becoming hot is normal. I've also seen red hot turbos in cars driven hard. But those were race cars. No idea if it's nornal in passenger cars. It's a very good idea to let your turbo cool down before shutting the car off. What I do is. Last few miles before I get home, I drive like it's in eco pro mode, keeping the car out of boost. I also let the car idle for a minute or so before turning it off (I spend the time taking things out of the trunk or checking the mailbox while the engine is idling).
Running map 3 on 93 isn't a good idea without logs. Reason being quality of fuel. Just because the pump says 93 doesn't mean the fuel quality is the same at all pumps. Plus, to run map 3, it is ideal to put in some E85 as well for an increased octane rating. It's probably safe to run 93 on map 2 (I've done many many many logs on all maps and found that timing and stuff is great with map 2 and 93 and it wasn't perfect with map 3 and 93 alone). If you want to run map 3, add around 3.5 gallons E85 and then fill up with 93 for a full tank. And log your car. Logs help a lot. In my car, with the way I mentioned above for fueling, logs are perfect.

E85 is your answer. Get like an E22-25 blend and you should be good enough to run map 3 or even a custom map 6 with more boost than map 3.

Haha that works too. In my car, there was a difference with map 3, especially when I used dragy. The difference isn't that obvious with map 2 but it's still there. Again. All dragy verified. I've run all maps (map 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) multiple times and done many dragy runs. There are noticeable improvements with each map.
