KPH Speedo's on Turbos...

[Davey001]

Suppose I were to buy a tubby after getting exceeding bored with my N/A, and it had been used in the UK previously, the speedo should be in MPH not KPH if it has been converted for the SVA test should'nt it?

Only post 94 cars have SVA tests!

Ahhh I see. So does that mean its OK for Rev1/2 turbos to be driving around with the original Jap Speedo in KPH?

Not sure. I went to look at a rev 2 turbo at a dealer and the speedo was still in kph!!!

its fine i have a rev2 turbo and all i have is a mph cover over the kph as long as u can understand the kph into mph then am sure it is ok

110 MPH (180Kph) dials are easy to fit (you can get from Halfords)
So why stick with Kph only?

My mk1 sc is still in kph and i like it that way!
Doesn't take long to get used to it.

The problem i have heard before is that the mph converter is usually out anyway,I know that Pete Mason who has a mk1 sc is about 10 miles an hour out,so i think you are better off with the kph once you learn it!

I need some, tried halfords and said they didnt do them? Any ideas

Thanks
