Turbo swap dials

Post by CalMac »

Fitting a Rev 3 3SGTE into my Rev 1 NA import and I've changed the speedo sensor in the gearbox today (can't remember what I've changed it to, I bought it years ago having been told I needed to lol). I'd guess it's a Rev 1 NA speedo sensor I've fitted in place of the turbo unit - mechanical/cable driven or something?

Anyway - can I use my standard NA dials/clocks or do I need a specific set of turbo dials (ie. Rev 1 or Rev 3)? I'd assume I need Rev 1 turbo dials to make it work.

Having just looked at some pictures it appears I've swapped in a mechanical speedo sensor, which means my NA dials will probably 'work' but not accurately..? So I probably do need Rev 1 turbo dials?

Also can I just leave the wiring for the Rev 3 turbo electrical sensor unplugged now that I'm reverting it to mechanical or will I have dash warning lights pop up?
