Can I use an NA gauge cluster on my T2?

I have a spare NA gauge cluster (or 2 ) laying around, and I want to go with an aftermarket boost gauge, since the stock gauge is useless, and I'm planning on running around 15 pounds of boost. I really don't see the point in having two boost gauges, and thought, gee, it might be nice to have the voltmeter. After taking apart both an NA dash and a T2 dash, it appears the harnesses are the same... My question is, will the NA cluster plug right in and work, or do I need to do a little wire swapping or something?

if i recall correctly, you need to cut a wire on the gauge cluster harness that sends the signal from the boost sensor, the cluster is already internally wired for the volt gauge. you may want to verify this with a wiring schematic.

Don't see why not. Just wire it like the N/A.

as long as it is the same series, it plugs right in
