Default Fitting a speedo converter question

I have a speedo converter for my V3 Impreza,it's the one that fits to the gearbox side of the cable. Question is when I have fitted it will the speedo needle read correct in mph on the kph clock or will I need to change the dial face as well?
Cheers
Rich

Not too fussed about it saying kmh on the dial as long as the numbers are correct when I convert,plus if I decide to take it round a track or a 1/4 mile strip it won't be limited to 112mph

Moves the limiter that far up the scale that you'll never reach it if it's a standard ECU.

Yup currently limited to 180 kmh so when converted I'm guessing It will be pretty much impossible to push 180 mph with any ecu fitted
