Hmm...looks nice, but the location is kinda weird, isn't it? Doesn't that restrict the view of the tach or speedometer?

The classic question.

When both gauges stand upright, it blocks 110mph and above and below 3k on the tachometer.

When both gauges are at their extremities, I can't see 110mph and above (again) and I can see all of the tach.

I usually shift by sound, unless I am on the track (road course). And if I am on the track, I am shifting around redline anyway. So what isn't visible doesn't matter too much. I never go above 90, so that doesn't matter either.

I thought I had the same problem
altho my peak boost was 1.6bar and no higher
I put on my greddy types bov and it reads 1.4bar consistently now and peaks at about 1.5 in gears 1-3 and sometimes in 3 and 4 it will read 1.5

turbo spining harder to compensate for a leaky BOV??? maybe you should check it to see if reading the correct boost

Yeah please let me know. I have seen almost 1.7 bar, kinda scary on 91 octane.

so the WHITE BF's aren't inaccurate? I'm confused lol. Also, kind of hard to tell for sure, but how close is the color of the amber BF gauge to the stock gauge cluster light color?

i'll be honest, it doesn't match PERFECTLY.

however, if you dim the BF's a little bit, it gets really close to indiscernable.

i mean, if you want perfect, go with the color-changeable omori's.
