I was wondering is it possible to connect a porsche computer to the car and programme the transmission to always take off from first gear instead of second?
And also my last question is, is it possible to disconnect the air oil separator from the intake manifold? i know you are meant to block the intake manifold inlet but what should you do with the pipe that connects to the oil separator? can you block that as well or will it built up pressure?
Kind regards

No, and no.
Your description of the transmission function is as the car was designed, and to change it would require a custom re-map of the computer.
Disconnecting the AOS is a bad idea; these are low ring tension engines that require sump vacuum to create proper ring seal, and you would end up pressurizing the sump and blowing out the oil seals as well.
