so ive read up on swapping in a volt gauge for the turbo gauge on my 89T but since im buying an entire cluster could you not just swap out the whole thing or are there other differences? hope this isnt a clone thread but i didnt find anything in my search....thanx
a quik gauge cluster question.

Swapping a single gauge is really not that difficult. Just pay attention to where things go, it's all phillips head screws.
Now how you make a volt gauge work where a boost gauge used to be is a different story. If that info was added to this thread, I would do the swap myself.

Searching on the terms "volt gauge swap" yields this thread: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?2266-Volt-meter-in-boost-spot
I have a question that would fit in this thread. I have never had the cluster out so I have no idea, but would you be able to take out stock boost gauge, cut out behind it and put in an after market mechanical one?
i thought of that too but as im not a skilled cutter it seemed a bit tough for me....but now i think plx or somebody makes those super thin gauges that would minimize cutting needed....

No. You would have to cut the whole thing out.
CyFi6 here on the forum has done it.
& look on the bright side, if you mess up & ruin the green circuit board, i have an extra lying around i could sell you. :evildeal:
I have the Green circuit board (GTE) & white box that goes on the back of the cluster, without that box the boost gauge will not work. If your interested LMK.. only reason why i have this is because i bought a cluster from LeBlanc here on SM. since my cluster didn't have the original gauge faces & the aftermarket ones didn't work at all. Like i said LMK ill take pictures, it's in really good condition

It's not broken, it's just not going to read the right number. Swapping in the volt meter *really* isn't difficult - it adds a whole 5 minutes to the procedure.
