        INHO, anything besides OEM, or anything aftermarket that is not ForFunctionalsSake does not belong in an e30...
        I don't honestly have your answer, but just offering my 2 cents
        Ultimately it's your car, so your doing what you want to it. No skin off my nose

        But if it's some crazy cluster that is supposed to read goodness from a twin-turbo s54, please share pics :up:

              This shit will get you ran out of here. Trust me


              Plenty of people run aftermarket guage on here.

              I would look threw the project forum and see which way you like best and copy one of those.

                  Your factory gauges don't work so u rather install aftermarket ones? It's likely an easy fix too. Change the SI board and tighten the nuts on the fuel and temp gauge while you are there.
