yes, but you won't have a boost gauge anymore.You will have to put one in separately.

Yes, the T2 has a higher top speed. If you swap in an NA cluster your speedo will be reading lower than the speed you are actually traveling.

Are you sure that you're correct? I would think that since their using a speedo cable and not newer type speed sensors this wouldn't be an issue...

I didn't see much of a difference. Speaking of speedo cable my locker broke, what do I search for to get another one of those?

well unless he also swaps in a t2 trans and diff. my n/a has the full n/a running gear but a t2 cluster. my speedo reads 5mph higher at about 9oclock, 10mph at 12oclock, and 15mph at 3oclock according to my gps unit

I'm gonna be putting an NA cluster in mine soon hoping.to fix my half working speedometer.

I'd rather use whatever is the most accurate but a t2 cluster wasn't available at the junkyard.

The cluster can be taken apart and the speedometers can be swapped in the case of the OP. The gearing is certainly different between an n/a and TII, but I thought the speedometer cable would have taken care of that. I'd never bothered to think the speedometers themselves were different.

idk...even if its not 100% accurate its better than it saying I'm going 40 MPH when I'm going 60+
