Yikes, man. Did you already agree to take the job or have you just been extended an offer with a deadline?
To be honest, if I had a guy agree to take the job with me and then come back right before he's supposed to start and trying to get a raise A) I wouldn't give it to him and B) It would be a red flag to me.
If you've only been offered the gig and asked for 48 hours to think it over, then getting a new figure from your former employer and taking it to the new employer and seeking a match would be kosher. But if you've already taken the job and now you're coming back looking for a sweetener from the company that's offered you a life raft from a job you were looking to leave, that's pretty poor form to me.
