The XR6T tacho goes to 7000 rpm, while the FPV goes to 8000 RPM. Handy for increased RPM limit due to Edit. Also the speedo goes to 270km/h vs 260 km/h in the XR6T (not that you need it...). Also the nice blue eagles.Additionally, as the GTP has climate control the two buttons on the right hand side are illumination up and down, whereas on the XR6T they are illumination and trip computer selection.So what's required to make it all work ??? Given Edit I was wondering if it's possible to "configure" something to suit, and can you copy the existing odometer kms from the old cluster onto the new cluster ?CheersRobin.

The only Gauge I recon looks any good id the Gaugeworks Boost Gauge that fits in the Firmont Clock Housing. All the rest lool too much like an add on including the FPV!Sorry Back to the question. To pull the triangle off you need to use a screwdriver to CARFULLY leaver it up from the back left side. Lever it on your finger not the soft dash (fingers are cheeper to replace????)I used the cigerette lighter (oops "POWER SOURCE" ) light to light the gauge. You can feed the wire down the side of the console.The rest well, that depends on what you got!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I think he is talking about the instrument cluster not the guage cluster.

Guest mercurysteve Guests Posted 30/05/05 10:24 PM Share Posted 30/05/05 10:24 PM almost a case of why bother IMO? If I had done almost everything else to the car then sure, but why not spend the moola elsewhere (unless you have done everything else) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17922-fitting-a-fpv-gtgtp-instrument-cluster/#findComment-258148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
