Jason I'd be interested to know how to install porsche's fix and install a TPS.

When the engine is cold the DME tends to run a richer mixture and advance the timing. Once warm the Cold Start Cycle is out of the equation.
The Fuel pressure regulator seems to be working fine on your car.
The AFM reacts the same cold or hot, this may not be the issue.
Have you checked your AFR? Are your knock sensors working fine? Is your TPS reading differently when cold vs. hot?
There are many things that make the car feel lazy. Best approach is to verify the proper operation of the various sensors before swapping parts.

i can't even find anyone who seems knowlegeable about the fuel pressure regulator.....it may be the key to the slow response.
the regulator has a vacuum line connected to it that reduces the fuel pressure to about 50 psi while under vacuum. when vacuum is removed, the pressure increases to about 55 or 58 psi. when you open the throttle quickly, vacuum goes away ....so i'm concluding this increase in fuel pressure is designed to provide throttle response.

By the sound of your problem the engine is running lean when it gets hot - one possible cause of this that others have touched on is a faulty cylinder head temperature sensor which is out of calibration once the engine is warm.
