Can I fit 'em both into a diesel 90? If I can, should I get:-

a) the special shiny central das thingywotsit

or

b) a tragic max power dash pod?

Can you tell which one I'm keener on?

Is it actually worth having these things in a defender, surely if it gets noisy, you change up, quieter, you change down, and if there isn't as much power as before and heaps of smoke, then the turbo's donalded?

Yes you can - tacho however needs an alt with the right connection, what engine do you have?

Took out my clock and moved my fuel gauge and installed a tacho and boost gauge in the holes.

Then your alt should have the terminal on the back for the tacho. W terminal.

I was thinking of putting a large rev counter next to the speedo and moving gauges and warning lights to a chav like pod in the middle

You can get a rev counter to fit in the fuel gauge hole.
I moved the Temp gauge along to the clock position and fitted a boost gauge.
Gave the clock to somebody on this forum because I have a watch.
Fitted the fuel gauge into the dash in place of the cigarette lighter as the hole behind the trim is exactly the right size.
Relocated the cigarette lighter socket to my cubby box as I dont use it that often.
Having said that I do have one of these but have not got round to fitting it yet.
