The difference in speedo readings mean that for the same car, tranny, speedo cable etc, an NA speedo will read less than a turbo, or would they read the same? In the same vein, would a turbo tranny with an NA speedo cable and speedo read the correct speed?

You can use a s4 NA gauge cluster in a s4 turbo car. It will plug in and the volts will work as volts. The s5 will not plug in, they are different.

What about going the other way? Anything special needing to be done to go from stock NA cluster to t2 cluster? (they are both s4)
