Even without having a tbe, you can still run Cobb Stage 1 and gain around 30 hp or so from the map management software. I ran the accessport on my pracrtically stock 05 and I felt a noticible difference in power. Now I'm running a full tbe (catless) from the uppipe and Cobb stage 2 map and the power output is amazing. As far as I know, the accessport will work with the tt no prob. I recommend the AP as an easy solution to map management software that you can install yourself without having to bring your ecu to a tuner to adjust.

acces port is good for people who don't really know how to tune, and want to have a map more aggresive then stock. But it is probably the least aggresive tuning solution there is, which is good if you don't know what you are doing so it's probably the safest. The AP will work and will work well with a couple extra mods, I'm currently running stage 2 with a v-2 manifold and helix up-pipe, wich is not required but is inside the guidelines of the map. To the best of my knowledge an AP will not work with any kind of boost controller, since it tunes target boost from the stock vacuum lines and boost selinoid. There are other things it will work with, you just need to go the the site and study a little more, or ask some questions.

A list of your mods would help. It's hard to say the Accessport will work well with your mods since (with the exception of the ebc) we have no idea of what you have done to your car.

As for the street tuner question, do you think you can tune the car yourself with out blowing it up? Do you live near any tuners that have the Pro tuner?

BTW, you really don't need an ebc with the accessport since the ecu controls boost according to targets the AP gives it. If you’re not careful with the ebc+accessport you can blow your engine.
