Speedo with no PCM?

i have been running around for about a month now, after my 6-speed tranny and FAST pcm swaps, with out a speedoameter. it didn't bother me that much while i was trying to get the car tuned and all the major problems solved but now that all that is under control can anyone tell me how to get my speedo to work? i have a speed sensorin the tranny and the gauge is not hooked to anything. do i need a dakota digital SGI-5 box or something? how would i tap into the ABS like some people do? anyone got any ideas?

You could have just kept the PCM and let it run the speedo. Do you still have it? I run a MoTeC engine management system, but kept the stock PCM for the speedo and emissions controls.

You would need to have it reflashed. The A4 and M6 reluctor gears have different numbers of teeth (A4=40, M6=17).
