Re: 997.1 pdk exists?
Nevertheless, the 997.1 Turbo Tip was very good and the only Porsche faster with Tiptronic than manual. It featured an overboost function too. The only tiptronic 911 worth having.
Of course the 997.2 Turbo PDK is even better and the Turbo S (PDK only) top.

Re: 997.1 pdk exists?
I really didn't like the tiptronic on the 997 turbo. It turned me off the car completely, even tho' the car was rocket-ship fast: it reminded me of playing Gran Turismo on my PS3. The manual is a completely different story however: it is much more involving and is probably the best manual gearbox I've ever come across.
The PDK in the Gen 2 turbo and turbo S is in a different class to the tiptronic: much more involving and fun, if you need an auto. I've driven a few around Silverstone and they are flawless and much more characterful than the tip.

I actually liked the Tiptronic but the car was tuned to over 550 hp and the setup was quite good.

That must have been a bit of a beast! 
How you finding the 991 turbo S?

Amazing car, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, this is the perfect description for it. My 997.1 Turbo was louder though (Cargraphic exhaust with 200 cell high flow cats, Alois Ruf was nice enough to allow the usage of this exhaust system in my car, so I can save a buck or two but the ECU software had to be slightly adapted and everything, incl. a new chassis setup, was done by Marc Lieb's father who works there). Yes, my old Turbo was fun and fast but after five years of ownership, it got boring. 
Wanted something new...
