Works great in my Dodge.
Or
you could try using a turbo inlet vacuum source. I don't know what kind of vacuum you'd get, especially with a free flowing turbo intake.
Some cars come with vacuum resovoirs. Those early Ford Exploders had one, just look around a junkyard. Mine is a 1 QT Nalgene vacuum bottle.

This is the only complaint he has about the car b/c his leg falls asleep when driving that far b/c he can't move his foot...
And yes I tried to search and all I got was ever thread w/ the word cruise in it, so I did find alot of cruise hang outs in other states but nothing about cuise control...
Thanks!!

Certainly better than always having to feather the throttle for hills while using cruise, isn't it..
What gain settings? what boost control do you have?

I gotta cruise unit in the box in my garage. I was going to put it on the Evo but I couldn't figure out how to attach the cable to the throttle arm. So, I put the unit aside for another day and never got back to it. Now, seeing this thread, I realize I still want cruise. So, can anyone explain how the pull cable is connected to the throttle arm?????
