Has anyone been able to retrofit a new style paddle shifter to a 997.1 TT? I am told it can NOT be done...that for some reason, it fits on other tiptronic P cars but not the Turbo. Thanks for the help.

 

Suncoast had a retro kit on their website...I don't see it any more...I would ask them since they use to sell it..

 

I didn't want to "out" him, but Ryan is the one who told me that...I was just hoping one of the genius techies on here might have figured out a way around this problem.

 

I know somebody bought the kit, but was having trouble getting it to work...I guess there is no direct way to make it fix at the time unless you find somebody like you said then...

 

I had Ryan get me a paddle wheel for my 07 turbo because He thought it would work. After a wasted day he found out what his tech's already new that IT WOULD NOT WORK ON A TIPTRONIC TURBO. It only retrofits a 09 and up pdk that did not come with paddle shifters! I sold my 07 turbo and have been looking for the right pdk turbo/turbo S with paddles. In the end Suncoast said they would take care of me for all my trouble ( hope they still will some day ).

 

The current Porsche paddle shifter wheel will not work on a 07 911 Turbo tip.
My Porsche dealer made several attempts to get it to work but failed. I finally went with the FVD paddle shifter wheel. 30 minutes to install and no problems. IMO it is a major improvement over the stock push button wheel. The wheel is thicker with a much better overall feel . I was surprised how much difference the wheel would make. The only downside is no Porsche emblem. Super quality. Give Rhonda a call at FVD. Attached are pictures of the wheel and after it was installed.

 

Thanks Trturbo...that looks like the best option unless I want to pony up for a 997.2! Nice wheel!

 

Can this wheel be embossed? It really looks like something is missing with the crest but there anymore.

 

I've actually seen the Porsche emblem attached to that very wheel. Yes, it can be done.

 

That's the same wheel Gemballa has on offer, of course the logo is different.
