Retrofit a cruise control for a 993 turbo?
Hey
I'm looking to buy a 993 Turbo to be my daily driver. Some of the European cars wasn't equiped with a cruise control. I use the cruise control all the time on my current daily driver as the speed limits are so strict and the fines are huge where I live.
Would it be reasonably easy to retrofit a cruise control to a 993 Turbo or should I just forget all the cars which don't have one and just look at the ones which have it?

I will do my best to be clear,
If I had a no-cruise turbo and need to retrofit....there are 2 things to bare in mind
1 - is the parts and 2- labor (or no labor for a rennlister)
parts:
1-cruise motor $50 - $100 ebay used (easy to get)
2- accelerator hook cable for turbo and miscellaneous tidbits + bracket, very hard to find used, and new cost ~$100
3-Control unit + coding module (easy to get) used ebay $150 - $250
4- column controls new $500 - used $100 ebay if lucky
labor:
engenders retrofitting the motor, hooked to accelerator flap, on intake flaps on engine
removing steering wheel and retrofitting column controls
removing seat and installing control unit to harness.
+/- 4 hour job
regards

I've always had a question about the Porsches cruise control, so I'll hijack this thread a little and ask here, sorry.
When in cruise control on my 2006 Boxster, if I press the clutch to pass and downshift, the cruise cuts off. If I do the same thing in the '97 Turbo, the cruise stays ON, and once the downshift or upshift is complete, the cruise re-engauges, and goes back to the speed limit that was previously just set. Why the difference? Thanks.

2- lever B
3- lever C
4- Stop switch
5- Clutch switch

yes, 100%
I don't believe some 96 cars had clutch microswitches as you don't need to depress the clutch pedal to start the car.
I believe the manual actually references that you can push the clutch without it interupting the cruise control.

technically, I do not know how this is possible, since the revs will blow up, I will research a bit to see how, thanks
