I followed similar 'advice' about buying the 'tach adapter'...and did. No use at all...waste of money, gathering dust. Turned out that all that was wrong was I had the microswitches on the back of the VDO tach set incorrectly. Before you spend ANY money on 'tach adapters' or 'boosters' from anyone, experiment with these microswitches a little bit. Sorry Sideshow, the tach adapter MUST be set to 8, sometimes the switches make it look like 4, but it's just the way the documentation (online if you need to get it!!!) makes it look!

let us know when you solve this!
