89 cluster in 88

Speedo will be off because of the rear end gearing from 88 to 89. IIRC this is all that will be "wrong"
unless it's NA because gearing is the same.
of course, in that case, your tach will not function, as NA tachs aren't compatible with turbo igniters...
as for the auto vs 5 speed issue, you can swap in an auto tachometer and it'll be fine, unless you can live without knowing if you're in power mode or normal.

i can prolly live with the speedo being off a bit i wanted to use that parts cars rear end too i heard there was a diffrance in gearing between auto and manual trans..? then it should correct it self
there's no difference in auto and 5 speed gearing, NA's all got 4.3 differential gearing, pre 89 turbos got 3.91, and 89+ turbos got 3.73's...
auto or 5 speed don't matter..

Speedo gearing is the same between N/A and Turbo, and pre-89 and 89+, and between Supras and Corollas and Celicas and Camrys. It's always changed at the transmission, not the speedometer.
Since you are changing to 5-speed anyways, using the 89+ cluster makes most sense. The only issue you will have is the cruise light on the dash won't come on, as your car has the cruise light on the switch.
Everything else will work fine.

i have a 91 turbo manual cluster in my 87 turbo manual and it works fine all the gauges worked and looked like they were reading right...
So gearing in the w58 and r154 is different? (240 km/h / 280 km/h speedos at least on Euro model) ?
And as we talk about clusters and I'm dismantling one turbo one - what does the box on the right side do? The left one has something to do with boost I guess...I don't have it on my N/A one.
