I'm not experienced in electrical stuff at all, so I work by trial and error, altho I do a little planning before acting
If I remember correctly, For separating the turn signal in the tacho, I removed the original wire that went from the turn signal relay to the tacho bulb, and spliced 2 wires to those that went to the actual left/right turning lights. I used those 2 separate wires to feed the small L/R bulbs inside the tachometer.
If you get a buzzing and illuminated turn light in the dashboard when turning the key to on, then the bulb is probably wired wrong and it's triggers the relay somehow...
Now that I think of it, I'm not 100% sure but I think the original beetle turn signal indicator bulb had a shared positive wire with the 2 "idiot" lights, and it's triggered by negative intermitant signal from the flasher relay. My mistake back when I installed all the porsche gauges, and probably yours probably was to trigger it by positive signal, while keeping it's original positive feed (thinking it was it's ground). Interestingly, that made it work in my case, but I think it was flashing opposite to the turn signals outside the car (turn signal on - small bulb off / turn signal off - small bulb on). That's why all the gauges were also dancing
