996 Gauge Cluster into Boxster S

[Cloudsurfer]

I am told the 996 guage cluster is a plug in swap into a boxster. How true is this? Are there already senders in the car to feed the oil pressure and voltage gauges? Does Porsche keep the mileage in the cluster or in the ECU somewhere (i.e. if I get a cluster out of a 20k wrecked 996 will my box show 20k on the clock, or the real mileage)?

Thanks

Just found a 996 cluster out of a C2 so will be doing this mod sometime in the next few weeks. Looks pretty straight forward aside from running the wire to the new oil pressure sender.

I'm wondering if you can just add the extra two gauges to the 986 cluster? I do realize that the oil sending unit still would need to be replaced and an additional wire added so that is is functional.
