It's not a simple plug-and-play. You'll have to program the BCM using FORScan to reflect the features of your car (red line, whether or not you have a boost gauge, etc). It will also need to come from a car with the same transmission. Automatic clusters do not work properly on manual cars and vice-versa. In my case, I purchased the kit and provided my VIN and mileage. With the VIN, they could look up the specs of my car and program the BCM accordingly before they shipped the unit to me. The only thing I ended up needing to change was the redline.

It requires a bunch of programming with FORScan, but you should be able to, assuming that dash is from a manual car. The manual and auto clusters are slightly different. You'll also need the bezel for it like I showed in the video. I wouldn't expect it to work right out of the box without some programming though. You also need to reset the odometer which is non-trivial as far as I'm aware. You can increase mileage easily, but if your car has less miles than it shows, the bezel needs to be completely re-flashed I think.
