None of the piggy backs require 93 Octane. In fact I emailed Dinan after I got mine installed about whether 100 Octane would make a difference and they said no, 91 octane will achieve the same results. BM3's base map requires 91 which is widely available, Map 2 requires 93. Shell, Mobil are both 93 octane and have been widely available in my area for a while. We used to have 94 for a while but have not seen that in a while in MA and New England.

Here are the tunes for the N63TU2

So what exactly is the difference between, for example, a Dinan "piggyback" and something like a bm3 tune?

Harder than it should be to figure this out via google.
