I will test myself, but I recently installed one and the tach wasn't functioning at all, so assumed it was a compatibility issue even though they're supposed to work across the models from what I can see in RealOEM.
You would just need to code the cluster (using NCS Expert program) to the 4 cyl version data inside. What is really important to know is what car the replacement cluster is sourced from, first.
