im guessing its just the fitting, but there could be something you get on the turbo gauge thats not on the NA guage

The TII cluster has a boost gauge in it while the NA gauge cluster has an voltage gauge. So if you put the TII faces on the NA cluster, its going to read as a constant 7lbs of boost all the time, lol, or whatever the needle will be pointing at, because underneath is still the voltage gauge. Also your stock tachometer goes up to 9k while the TII goes to 8k, so that wont read accurately either.

So answer to your question, yes you can use them, but the tach wont be accurate and neither will the boost gauge.

Those are WAY too expensive. I bought these and liked them so well that I bought a second set as a spare in case they quit working. I've had them for over a year now with no problems.

The boost gauge gets it's signal from the TII boost sensor. Which ECU/ boost sensor are you using for your swap?....you didn't indicate which series in your thread.
