are NA and T2 gauge cluster interchangible?

besides not having boost gauge and shows different gauges and stuff, can the say NA chassis with NA clsuter, run on the T2 engine while showing correct reading? of whatever gauges the NA has of course


reason asking, i got a GXL chassis, GXL wiring harness, and GXL cluster, running on a Jspec turbo drivetrain engine and tranny and all (yes i got loose wires everywhere form the swap, previouse owner got a shop to do it).
My speedo is slower by 20km. like it doesnt move until 20km/h. And the temp gauge just doesn't move at all...well barely. so it doesn't work. ya ya i know it could just be a pos gauge cluster.

but i want to know which gauge cluster i need to make this **** works. anyone have any experience on this? did a search, didn't find much info

I know the NA cluster stuff into a Turbo II will show voltage properly.

I don't know if it works the other way around - it should.

I dunno why you're hung up on the stock boost gauge - it's really only helpful to tell you if your boost sensor is working or not.
You really should be using an aftermarket boost gauge if you want accurate boost readings (no Autometer!).

no i'm not hung on the boost gauge

the problem i'm hung on, is the temp gauge showing all queer, and speedo being all gay and 20km.h behind

the voltage is showing properly :P
