Will they fit in a n/t. I searched and couldn't find any info on it. I currently have avenger v6 oem gauge cluster in my car (with the rpm and speedo from my car because they are higher). Fit in perfect, and to my surprise the oil gauge works. Not as responsive as it does in the Avenger but it works none the less. I am asking this because I am getting a bunch of free stuff off of a 96 GST. I thought I would have to pay but to my surprise the kid is giving me the weather stripping, stock rims (my tires went flat on my enkei and I am running stocks w/o the hub caps, my bro lost one), and the gauges. The rest of the car is striped so far down I don’t think it even has the stock fuel pump. Well any info on the matter would be cool.
peace.
Sorry if posted in the wrong section and if anyone is thinking about asking...obviously the boost gauge wouldn't work. Hoping the rest would though.

I'm baffled...
If you only had an N/T oil pressure idiot light before, how could you now have an oil pressure gauge that is working by only changing the cluster Or did you install a new oil pressure sending unit? N/Ts only come with a sending switch that provides a ground path to the idiot light when oil pressure is low. Turbos come with a sending unit that provides a variable signal based on rising and falling pressures. According to the wire diagrams they don't use the same pin-out on the gauge cluster either.
I'm curious because I'm doing some custom gauge installation as well. I'm trying to optimize the factory options avaible from the GSTs and the Avengers.

I really don’t know why or how it works. But it does. I will post pics soon if you like of idle/driving. There is a difference and if it shouldn't work the needle should be just stuck on the bottom.

Please do.
For the life of me I can't figure out how your oil pressure gauge is getting a signal to read if you don't have a oil pressure sending unit. I don't see any other way to get a signal to the gauge in order to obtain a meaningful reading.
Are you sure you have a stock oil pressure switch installed or did someone maybe install an oil pressure sending unit instead?
