Is there anything special that has to be done on car with Traction Control?
I have a 2004 SE.

Officially, the traction control system needs to be activated to open the valves to flush all of the old fluid. Normally, this will require a Porsche factory PST2 tool or equivalent.
Unofficially, I had never done this when I do the yearly brake flush on my Boxster with TC and never had any problems.
You can try doing it without exercising the TC system and if the pedal is firm when you're done, then everything is ok. If you do the flush but end up with a spongy brake pedal, then you'll probably have to take the car in to a shop that has the tool to exercise the TC system to get it fully bled.
The Pelican DIY instructions say the same thing (read down into the comments):
