Hi, sorry I'm reviving an old thread, but i looked like a good place to ask my question!

I'm prepping for a M54B30 swap into my '96 ti. After researching the cluster, I believe the only reason you need to use the 6 cyl cluster is to get the tach working, is this correct? Has anyone tried just using an inline tach signal modifier between the ECU and the cluster to solve the tach issue? Something like "Tach-Adapt"?

We don't have the MPG display under the tach in the 318ti, and at least my ti doesn't have the OBC. So I think I can use an inline solution and retain my original cluster. Anyone else try this? Thx!
