Get an aftermarket boost gauge - the stock one is a waste of time.

I don't know if anyone has done this...i know i haven't. I would guess it plugs either into some sensor on the turbo, or into the ECU. I really don't know because I don't have a T2.

Then you are going to swap dash and cluster harnesses with Turbo ones, if you want to use a Turbo gauge cluster in a originally non-turbo car.

Or I guess you could run the wires from the ECU to the gauges yourself and make a custom harness.
