I would speak to Todd Knighton at <a href="http://protomotive.com/" target="_blank">Protomotive</a>. On his website he claims to have a throttle position sensing and MAP sensor upgrade for the 964 for $1,850.00 USD.
In the late nineties I heard that <a href="http://www.bonnevillemotorwerks.com/" target="_blank">Jim Conforti</a> developed a similar setup for BMW's and Porsche's. Whether or not it became a product I don't know, I just know that it existed. I'm pretty sure that Cyntex is the Porsche distributor for Jim's Motronics software so you might want to give them a call.

<strong>Eddychan is right on. The DME and the Tiptronic
"talk", e.g. Tiptronic tells the DME to retard the
timing for a few ms for a smoother shift, or the
DME sends the engine load values or engine RPMs to the Tiptronic for proper unshift timing.
Please ignore some of my "rough" posts. As I've
said before, a lot of money can be wasted by good
intentioned Porsche owners going down a "bad
street".
Good luck
