Evening Chaps
Anybody done this to convert a tacho for using on a Landy alternator? I installed a dual boost and rev counter to keep an eye on my dwindling turbo after replacing the boost diaphragm only to now realise that "universal" tachos are universal for petrols!! Never mind - figured if I just put a potentiometer in the line and reduce the voltage by about 1/4 should work out about right? If not Ill just disconnect tacho wire and have it as a boost monitor only. Do i need a specifically rated one?
Any advice or guesses if this is a workaround idea?
Cheers
