S5 turbo instrument cluster question

Ok so I am in the middle of a n/a to TII conversion. Im having a real hard problem sourcing a s5 tII instrument cluster and was wondering if i bought a s5 tII cluster that had km/h if i could swap the speedo out of my n/a w/ mph and put it into the tII cluster w/ the odometer and trip meter as well. Would I run into any problems doing this or would it just swap? Any info will be helpful. Also so far I havnt found anything about the dash harness which I hear I need the TII dash harness a link to a conversion or something would be great if you dont mind .. if you do just ignore me.

Yep, can't really swap the odometer. You *could* swap the faces from km/hr to miles so long as the total is the same. Ie. you can't swap from 140 mph limit to 160 mph limit since the scale will be off.

As far as the dash harness goes I have no idea. Standalone the TII engine and forget about all that compatibility jazz.

Why are you even wanting to swap the clusters? Why do you want a near-useless boost gauge instead of a useful voltmeter?

There is no "dash" harness. There is a Front harness and and Instrument harness, both of which are located behind the dashboard. Well, half of the Front harness is anyway.

The standalone comment has zero relevance in this case either.
