S5 TII Cluster = S5 NA Cluster?

When doing an NA to TII swap, do I need to change the cluster as well?

Since it's the same series, you should be fine with the NA cluster. The only things you'd gain would be an accurate tach (redline at 7k not 8k), and the crappy boost gauge.

I have an N/A gauge in my s5 turbo vert. I did however change out the tachometer as the Trubo has a lower red line. Everything is pretty much plug and play.

HUH...I have a TII and since i'm running a E6K & wanting to redline at 8.5K; I was going to swap my TII cluster and tach for an N/A one. What do you guys mean by the N/A isn't as accurate?

What in the hell are you talking about, no one ever said that.

There is no need to change clusters for the swap. It just makes it more difficult.

On top of that why are you redlining at 8.5K? What have you done to the engine to require that?

not accurate as in it won't show the right RPM, just that the redline is wrong for a TII.
