As far as I know, the PCM is using the MAP sensor for your fueling needs... At least this is the sensor the various fuel piggybacks use.

I know a lot of people say that the TIP is not used with stage 1, you can just unplug it with stage 0, etc .. I have perpetuated this as well.. but doesn't stage 3 include a new 3 bar TIP? that makes me think that it IS used for more then just detecting part throttle overboost.. what IS the TIP normaly used for when we have the MAP?
TIP is used for a few things besides part throttle boost. It is used to compare TIP to MAP to run the surge (blow off) valve (albiet as a secondary function), and as a backup to MAP - like if MAP is ever more than TIP something is wrong. Mainly you use TIP to help control fuelling in fast transients, particullarly throttle position transients.
