Give David at KPM a call and ask him what he suggests. Best talking to the tuner that supplied the flash tuner. I'd guess 98 will be fine.

As for your handbrake it most probably needs adjusting, which to do it properly is probably going to require removing the rear wheels and brakes etc to adjust at the shoes.

What Benny said, or as we found on my sedan, just needed the nut tightened in the centre under the car. Was loose as all hell.

What's wrong with the handbrake?

I don't think many people run turbo timers, it's not really needed on these cars.

If you do go hard enough to need it, just let it idle for a while before switching off. If you're at home or in a secured location just pop the bonnet and leave it up for a while.
