I made something similar in the past. I was going to swap a 4cyl Swift GT instrument cluster into a 3cyl Turbo sprint.... (don't ask...turbo sprints are sweet). I got all prepped to do the swap, and built a circuit before I had my new cluster.
You won't hear any griping with me
. I'm a fan of anything with four wheels. I'd assume not only that the 1.0T is great on gas when out of boost, but can haul when in boost. Thumbs up in my books! We've actually got a Cappucino coming to the shop next week, it'll be fun playing around a bit with that 660cc turbo.

As it turned out when I got the cluster, there was a huge margin for adjustment, via two pots on the back that let me set it however I wanted, negating the need for my circuit. So I didn't end up using my project, but it did seem to work when connected to the scope.
Best of luck to you, just give your tach a good look over as it may have provisions for calibration.
Well, a little background here would probably help: I'm swapping a Nissan 3.5L transversely mounted V6 from an Altima/Maxima into a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V. I'm going to be doing this for customers once I work out all the bugs, but unfortunately I doubt there is any room for play with the instrument cluster. The 02/03 models might have some, I have to check yet, but the 04-06 models use a CANBus system, so I will need something for that. I'm going to have to use a converter for those model years.
Thanks for the good wishes!
