A few members have tried to wire up the B4 cluster. Matty2Hotty successfully did this I believe but with a large amount of wiring.

Most members just swap the tinted plastic onto their original.

However no one who has a Twin Turbo has tried this on SLi I believe.. It will plug n' play since its made for the same vehicle. The center shifter tree "P/R/N/D/3/2/1" can be removed from the back side but you will have a hole afterwards. In most cases you can swap the plastic bezel from your 5MT cluster to cover the hole. :-D

Also I am not 100% sure but the cluster holds the current mileage.. So if you swap clusters you odo will be off.

The rear muffler will fit but the muffler tip may be a little short since the wagons have a longer rear bumper. Nothing a little bit of work can fix.

Odometer will be inaccurate, and the WOF inspectors will nab you for it if the cops don't. You could get Subaru to reprogram the new cluster but you'll have to show them a busted one and they'll likely require that they do the install for you.

yeah the new ones 55k and the old ones 130k dont think it matters as long as its not a diesel with road user tax owing.

cheers, just had a look and the plugs are the same and the new cluster even has all the vdc lights even tho the other car wasnt. Fingers crossed its just a straight plug in will find out this weekend :) thanks for your help!

just plugged it in and it doesnt work, get the fuel light on constantly and the rest doesnt light up, so that was a waste of money haha cant even use the tinted lens on my existing cluster as the clock/trip buttons are in a slightly differnt place, however the muffler fits ok :)
