That's just a file photo. Meaning it's a default picture of a cluster. You would be getting your run of the mill cluster from an 850, not the one in the picture.

It is a sweet looking cluster though.

 

thats wat i thought, if it was liek that i'd buy it asap cuz its so cool


ehhh and by the way i actually got my second 850 t5 running, i spent 27$ lmao and shes roaring now

turns out it was the camshaft sensor that was bad, hit up a junker picked it up for 27$ and shes making noise, now i'm gunna redo everything

by any chance would u know where the STAGE ZERO thread is?

 

No, but stage zero is pretty simple. All hoses, plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, fluids, filters. Make sure everything is in working order, you don't want any "kinks" in the system, because what may seem small in the beginning, once you start modding can turn nasty real fast. If the miles are high, I would also look into new turbo gasket seals. Things like that.

 

plugs- check
plug wires- check
cap- check
rotor- check

hoses- which hoses exactly? or just make sure there not broken?
fluids- oil/ tranny? all thats in the works
filters- have 1 of 3

and yes the miles r high, how do i go about the turbo gasket seals? is there a write up on how to do it and where to get some stuff?

 

Turbo and coolant hoses, especially with a higher mileage car, oil starts to travel through the system and get in the hoses which causes them to deteriorate. Check all of your rubber hoses to make sure they are not spongey (this could very well be the most expensive part of stage zero, but very important). Especially if you start running more boost and pushing the car, it causes the hoses to expand more, which runs the possibility of blowing a hose higher.

For the turbo return line, there's a small gasket on the bottom of the turbo that is known to go bad, just look at the bottom of your turbo and if its dry you have nothing to worry about. And if it is, it's a real simple DIY fix.

 

The stage zero thread should be in one of the sticky's.
