Speedo converter help!

Post by scotty1982 »

I fitted my speedo converter from ebay today along with my white dials.

It says to connect to the blue wire but it says to fit in the engine bay near the speedo sender. Where is it? I fitted behind the clocks and it is still reading and clocking in KM. Maby the blue wire bekind the clocks is for the boost gauge and not the speedo? Does anyone know as my boost gauge isnt working right and the speedo isnt converted????

OK ill make it a little simpler. I have removed it and the boost gauge is working again now.

SO does anyone know what colour the speedo sender wire is behind the dash? That is all i need to know. On a rev3 turbo

There are two violet wires. One solid and one with a stripe. I tryied the striped one and that just messes with the rev counter!

It sound like your converter should be fitted at the speedo sender and not behind the speedo, then you may find the blue wire there.
