The OLD boost meter was then wired to the O2 Sensor! this gave a clear view of how the motor was running! sorta neat how it worked. i think i may try to find a turbo instrument cluster to swap in and i'm planning to do the same thing.

Well you can swap the boost gauge out but you wont be able to swap the entire cluster, the restances on the tach are diffrent because of the coil vs. distributer ignition systems.
