Default 1.8T Swap - Instrument Cluster?

I'm putting a 1.8T in my 2.0L. The donor is a 2003 Jetta. Will I need a 1.8T cluster or will my 2.0 cluster work?

I don't care about the top speed on the 2.0 being lower. In my area if I get caught maxing out the 2.0 speedo I'll end up in jail.

Thanks!

I know there's a couple nB's here in the Jacksonville salvage yards. I'll check and see what they are for ya, as well as inquire of a couple beetle friends out of town.

Thanks Al! I actually have found a complete ECU, Cluster, Keys, etc all from the same car so I think I'm good.
