Just the PC board on the back of the tach, as seen here:

^ That writeup is for rewiring your stock N/A tach to work, but if you get a turbo tach, (or just that PC board, it will bolt right up to your existing tach face, and function properly. :)

Edit:

Here, I took some pics of a tach I had laying around, click to enlarge:


Here's what you need, boxed in red. Apparently I didn't make the print large enough. LOL. :


And here are some random close-ups of different angles:

IF he PayPals me any money, (which, I seriously hope he doesn't, as this is what the forum is for!) or anything of the sort, I'm just going to donate it to Supramania. ;)
