My thinking is that the oil pressure gauge should work ( or maybe at least, have to change the oil pressure switch for it to work ), though I would imagine the boost gauge ( would read boost differently between a supercharger vs turbo )and may be reading inaccurately and need an adapter. Thoughts....? lets face it, the fg turbo, needed a better dash cluster than just a standard cluster.............like a variant the fgx supercharged cluster was equipped with. I'm used to replacing the XF GL dash to the XF fairmont ghia dash and only needed to swap the oil pressure switch to gain all the extra readings on that dash.

I don't want to start down the road for extra gauges, when this may well be a possibility.....and it would be nice and stealthy, without the extra gauges on the middle console.

FG & FG2 clusters are not interchangable. what you want is a FPV cluster which has the boost guage (only reads to 1 bar ) and oil temp. The signals are available in the data stream so no aditional sensors are required. There is no difference between the 6 & 8cyl cluster, its in the programing. If you get a S/H cluster just try & match your km's as I don't think you can lower the reading (but I'm sure that dodgy car yards know how to do it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
