Copy the .dash file to the appropriate projects 'dashboard'.

Matching the Dash File to your ECU/Firmware
As there are many firmware versions for the Megasquirt ECU, you may need to reassign the Output Channel for the gauges to the correct ECU outputs in Dashboard Designer > Properties Dialog right-click menu of Tunerstudio.
You can set your gauge units there also to change displayed units from 'C' to 'F', psi to bar to kpa, etc.
And, gauge indicators may need to have their low/high warning/critical values reset or disabled (usually set to -10000 or +10000).
This is required to match the dash to your ECU & firmware. See images below of the aforementioned menu/screen.
