I can't say that's a positively bad thing or root of your problems, but is something that you really don't want to do (reuse gaskets) because of this very question should a problem occur. The problem of course is that testing is difficult at best and provides a probability concern that is in addition to the problem which may or may not be your actual problem.
At this time I would say that your best move is a clinical, time consuming but important test of the entire system using the OSM and it's procedures as best you can. I have done this myself and know it's possible, and is also somewhat of a PITA but most importantly, leaves you with a pretty firm grasp of where you stand regarding what is working, not working, or undecided needing further digging. There are SO many things related to idle and can cause problems that seem similar to one another but are not related directly, or are indirectly related to another area such as the AT and other engine/car controls, so you need to get that all sorted out especially considering you indicate you have done major work to the car.
There is also a sticky at the top of the Z32 section that goes into idle issues, and TT.net has some help topics related to idle in their tech section as well.
Good Luck!
