I recall the LWFW in the original 996.1 CS was pretty amazing how quickly the enginer revved etc ...

well worth the upgrade if you have your tx out as well as a cup or guard rebuilt LSD ...

Actually not in this case no need to reflash:P

For the mk1 you would do the pulley for the mk2 you wouldn't

For the MK1 it'd be 2150.

There were a few issues mostly with GT2's and some GT3s, that the car stalls when you depress the clutch while the car is moving occasionaly..?? and some people reported that after they got the ECU flashed the problem disspaeared?

Stalling will occur based on tip-in, throttle response changes made to the mapping usually. Bot no 7GT3/GT2 has that issue unless it's got some sort of after-market tuning that helps it stall
