Might struggle with a 5 cylinder, probably better off going for an aftermarket tacho like an SPA or stack, that are just plug and play.. The other company I know of are called speedytach, based in wales I think, will google it in a min & post back.

if you are using aftermarket management then it will be simple, my okd KMS you could configure to fire any rev counter, the ecu did the thinking

cheers peeps, will be using DTA managment eventually, but to get it running will be using the standard bosch managment.
i have some clocks from the donor car, i will just chop them up and use the audi rev counter, atleast it shows 9000rpm on the gauge, that`ll do for now.

other option is to splice a potentiometer into the actual wires going to the coil that operates the gauge and you can use that to reduce the reading. Not perfect, but works very well.
Some rev counters actually have a trim pot already built in anyway so you dont even need to do that

put a v6 counter next to the standard 4pot one the wire them both up.
as you drive along look at both and then just work out the middle of where theyre both pointing
