Thanks for your help.

You can use standard practices. If you were changing the master cylinder or the ABS pump you would need to cycle the ABS pump with a tester.
A fluid change can be done by adding fluid, pumping and using the bleeders... the old school way. Or you can use a pressure type bleeder as per the manual, but it is not necessary.
Only thing to remember is that the person putting pressure on the brakes should say "DOWN" before it hits the floor as over extending the pedal can cause issues with the ABS. This is not a Porsche thing, but something to be aware of on all ABS cars.
