I have found a cluster with all the gauges; voltmetre, tacho, oil pressure, fuel, temp and speedo which is the sports cluster? (My GLi one only has the temp, speedo and fuel.)
anywayz i had a look thru the mod guides and still a bit confused. will this cluster fit str8 in? but i'll need to add a oil pressure switch? and a positive wire for the voltmetre?...to the blanked out holes in the plug? i know it's been done before! HELP thanx -Paul

Hey Mate,
It will bolt on and plug straight in. Everything will work fine, except the oil pressure guage.. it will read 100% until you replace the Oil Pressure Switch (on/off to indicate low oil condition) with an Oil Pressure Sender (variable resistance to indicate pressure).

adding the tach wire is usually only assosiated with the EA's.

It doesnt matter, either one will do. The only issue is if you do have smartlock, the light wont flash - big deal.
