[Mk2] [Generic] Uk turbo dash into import NA?

Post by SpamDubz »

Hey, as above will UK turbo clocks fit into my import NA with turbo engine plug and play? I know it's required to be changed to read in mph but I'm specifically talking about the dash. If not, what is required to make it fit? Mine is currently in km with 180km on the clock. I am desperate to get it into mph. I'm capable of tackling wiring myself I just need to know what goes where.

Any help much appreciated.

All turbos are import ;)

Best way is to get mph clocks IMO is to get a set of UK clocks, take both sets apart and transplant each individual dial into your existing shell...you can't just plug and play (even though connectors plug in) as they're wired differently due to different warning lights, etc

Can't you just replace dial fronts with sticker, get a converter and wind back clocks to miles? Would be dead easy

Oh yeah of course they are ! I was looking at 180mph clocks so just assumed they were for a turbo. My mistake. #-o

Right that's brilliant, so basically I can't just swap clusters either way I go about it. Looks like I'll be bps purchasing a mph converter and some dial face stickers.

Cheers guys :thumleft:
