Nice write up. Since this is really about socketing your ECU, I'll ask to have the title changed if you don't mind.
Cutting off the legs is quick and dirty. If your a first timer it will improve your odds of not damaging the circuit board which is a high risk on 2G ECUs.
It does however leave you without a factory EPROM in the case that you need to debug a problem or wish to sell your ECU later.
IMHO, If your sending your ECU out to be socketed make sure they aren't cutting the chip out and that you get your original EPROM back in one piece.
