is there a "how-to" on modifying the 9093 for variable tps? I want to send my car to the dyno this weekend, but would really like to hook up the tps before it goes.
Is it ok to convert to TPS later, or will that require more tuning? I'd like to pay to tune it once, and be done with it...set it and forget it.

SideDraft,
I'm away from home this week and don't have access to my good wiring diagrams, but it's easy enough to figure out whether the TPS is wired properly- just stick it on the car and observe the TPS value of the MS by looking at the RealTime Display window in megatune. Does it go up when you press the pedal, and down when you release it? (Don't forget that you need to run the TPS Calibration wizard.)

I don't have a lot of time, so I was just going to let BEGi tune it on their standard dyno. Is this a mistake? I could take it to Tuning Concepts for the same amount of money, but then I'd have to be there to work the software.

Surely there must be someone in the greater Dallas - Ft. Worth area who knows how to solder. Might call Bell and see if someone there is able to do the mod. This really is very basic Electronics 101 level stuff.

By Calibration Wizard you mean, Megatune>Tools>CalibrateTPS>Get Current?
Should closed throttle read "0" or does it need to have a minimal value?

The easiest would be from a '90-'93 automatic Miata, or any other B6 car (Escort / Probe, 323, etc) that used the same device.
Mine came from a B18C Honda. It required some physical modification to fit.
