installed T2 speedo wrong speed -2x

Installed a working speedo from a wrecked T2 in my s4 vert both are s4

I had to bend the little metal tab for where the speedo rests while not moving because it was 20 km under 0

so now it rests on 0

I bent the tab after I tried it first so I know that is not the cause.

Any ideas? I drive down the street with my phones GPS telling me I'm doing 40 km when my speedo shows 20

You're right. Forgot haha 3.9 vs 4.1 oh well I installed another Turbo speedo and it sit perfectly on 0 and is only 5-8km over the actual speed.

I can deal with the closer gap plus 260 km top speed instead of 240 on na speedos
