Porsche engine cutting out
I haven't heard of this problem before and I would suggest it's a result of age rather than anything else. Because it's intermittent it can be hard to trace, but I would be looking for a faulty connection, perhaps one that's corroded or loose. I would take it to an independent Porsche specialist, or an auto electrician.

Unleaded porsche
THEY'LL happily run on unleaded without an additive. The valve seats are the same in the pre-'86 engines as those built after the introduction of unleaded fuel. But you will need to run 98-octane fuel if you want to get the best out of it.
