Try tapping just one side of the coilpack negative pulse from the ecu, to see if you get it reading first, then you could try adjusting the multiplier on the actual tacho itself, but chances are you will need to send to speedy cables for modification, around Ł55.

as above, take one of the outer wires from the coil pack feed and feed this to the rev counter feed wire.
then take cluster out and adjust the pot under rev counter till it reads right, glue pot back in place and job done.
