| yes as trizo said however make sure you dont get one from a vr/vs otherwise you will burnout the back wiring and nothing will work . |

| No calibration necessary. What chip would you be refering to?? |
What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared. |

| Chip should not have any effect on the instrument cluster. Just remove old cluster and put the new one in and off you go. |

from what I know the v8 cluster has a flick switch .. but that may not be the case with all of them , but if you put a v8 cluster into your v6 you will have to configure the fuel via the cluster!

odo not working is a common fault tho, pretty easy to fix
I have a spare level 1 cluster that I'll guarantee the odo will work and guages won't stick for 3 months :)
Although I'm thinking about doing some serious mods to it, as I'm attemping on the one in my car right now, before I sell it |
