From what I remember, a Gtec 1 is for pretty much for standard cars (although having the K&N panel won't matter), whereas the Gtec 2 was for more modified cars (FMIC, exhaust etc..) and seem to think it would require super unleaded to run as the ignition advance was a little more agressive

I know a few people have run Gtec2 with standard intercooler for years without a problem, but I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you're in a hot climate.
If you're running a boost controller as well then limit boost to no more than 1.2 bar sustained, definitely not any more than that with a Gtec2 on standard intercooler.
If it's been running OK like that for years then I'd just replaced the failed boost controller and run the same boost level as before.

I've re-listed the Gtec chips on Ebay now, they've been gone from there since the start of the year, just in case anyone was looking.

I generally don't bother as the power is disconnected when you unplug the ECU connector anyway, but it won't do any harm to disconnect battery first. (Unless your radio loses settings or needs a security code to enable it again after disconnecting power).
