Aftermarket gauges. Oil pressure/water temp

Don't use copper, especially on something like a 90.

LMA Stainless Steel Braided Pressure Gauge Pipe - Demon Tweeks

Sure you will find cheaper/better, just an example.

Fit and forget, and no stress about trying to get dash back in without kinking copper pipe.

Or failing that use the nylon pipe.

Yeah I had seen those pipes as the copper thing did get me thinking. (It's hardly a normal lr engine )
As I say, Can't make a decision on what to do for the best.

What's the thoughts with, mechanical capillary type and electric?

the copper pipe oil guage on mine has been trouble free

I fitted Durite electrical ones to my 300TDi and I am not convinced they are accurate. The oil pressure seems to sit at around 20psi and doesnt move not matter what the revs and the oil and water temps sky rocket, at a steady 60mph on a DC they get up to 110C on the coolant and 140C on the oil. Coolant temp is taken at the cast elbow by the stat and the oil temp and pressure at the filter housing.

Looking to swap them out for STACK ones.

No issues so far with my Durite water temp or voltage. But stack oil pressure now needs a new sender!

I'm looking for a Turbo Boost gauge and a clock (time variety) that match - impossible apparently.

Also, may sound very daft, but what range on the Turbo? Seen a choice of -1 to 1 or -1 to 2

upto 1.5 bar should do for a 300tdi. iirc it runs 15/16psi from stock which is a smidge over 1 bar
