Looks great.

Ever think of doing the FTO font for Turbo on the engine cover?

Can do you a to scale image where you'll just need to trace...

New white dials installed, now to try and find good matching boost and oil pressure gauges

Also considering removing double din head unit and replacing wih fold out single then placing 3x gauge below for oil temp/volt/air-fuel what do you guys think?

White dials look great!

I had 3 gauges under my head unit before, but I installed a tablet and am now thinking of modifying the stereo surround by cutting out the cigarette lighter and ash tray and fibreglassing it for the gauges.

sh*t really thought they would pop off at those figures. I dropped my boost to 7psi wasn't keen on running 9 with standard internals since thwn has developed slight missfire at full noise. Going back for retune as think its down to too much fuel being put in and maybe too much timing now taken out with less boost
