 Tacho/Tacho Booster Questions/Problems

Hey guys,
I've been through everything, and mine doesn't seem to follow the same pattern as anyone elses, so I'm starting a new thread.
I've read through just about all the threads that came up in the search function about these things. As most of you know, I have a GA61 Celica XX (Supra) which now has a running 1GGTE. It also has nothing happening on the digital dash tacho-wise.
I've plugged the 1G- wire into the dash, no love. There is definetly signal though.
Aftermarket tacho I have reads perfectly through the same wiring. I actually wired the 1GGTE dash plug into the XX one, then tapped into the signal wire from the back of the dash. This works, so obviously it's not a wiring issue. It's not going to tell me anything about the signal, but my multimeter registers a voltage that rises and falls with revs, so its there.
By this I've established there is definetly *some* signal. I've tried connecting dedicated signal, earth and power wires to the dash to rule out any faulty connections, and they didn't remedy the situation at all.
Most other people when they're connecting the tacho up seem to be getting problems where the tacho plays up or reads random garbage, not like mine where I get nothing at all.
Norbie, this is directed at you but anyone can answer, what happened when you connected yours without the booster, did you just get the first LED lighting up on the tacho?
How can I establish whether or not I need a tacho booster? What other problems could it be?
Any ideas and suggestions would be great, it's been playing on my mind all day, and me being stubborn with shit like this, it'll remain that way until I get it sorted.
Oh, and one last thing, car originally had a 1GEU and with that engine the tacho was working perfectly.
Cheers,
Nathan
