I've had this paper in pdf for almost 2 years now. Its a good read. I tried to share it with everyone here but SAE has it security locked to only 1 computer.
I've posted this TIP tib-bit several times. Post #17 back in March is the latest. This thread might answer some of your questions too.
Regardless of the [Thermal] efficiency, if too much pressure is lost, then the intercooler is either useless or can actually decrease performance...Corky Bell

AGP does use it, to the same extent that almost anyone with a big turbo does.
Once a lot of people go big turbo, they tend to remove all the factory solenoid lines. Once the TIP no longer has any vacuum source to it, it's putting out a consistant voltage. AGP's mod is simply a way to modify the stock TIP's voltage to match what a 3-bar TIP would put out, if people don't feel like buying a $125 3-bar TIP.
Even SCT says you only need the TIP if you are letting the PCM control boost. Are they wrong?
Most likely right but why would you not want to use PCM boost?
like I said in the link

I'd have to have some compelling reasons to let it control boost to make me want to hook all of those solenoids back up and figure a way to route them all with a big turbo/hard pipes/aftermarket intake/intake manifold etc.

Your loss,,,The best boost controller available is there waiting for you. All it would take is about 30min, some vac line, some common sense and a bit of ambition.
If I could run PCM controlled boost on my car I would, but my car started out NA, so that's not really an option for me. I'm not liking the Profec E-01 too much right now.
Soon enough you guys should have the ability to turn all the TIP checks off. I currently have them all turned off on my car (yay no more CEL!), I've been testing it for SCT for the last week or so now.

I'm using the 33 1/2 ohm resistor in my solenoids.

Without letting it control boost I can run 3 different boost settings. Pump, pump and meth, and race gas with meth or any variation of that. If I did PCM boost it would be the same all the time wouldn't it?

No, why should it?
Your XCal still saves 3 maps, right? Could you not just load a new map to match the fuel??
Wouldn't you want different A/F and ignition timing to go along with the different Boost lvl and different fuel??
