No, definitely twin turbo:

Oh, it's a Diesel, that's why it hasn't crossed my radar.

You're thinking of the latest models, they have a turbo and a supercharger.
Nightmare in 10 years when they start giving problems

I know the top model, the T8 or something has Turbo, Supercharger and an Hybrid Electric engine? So complicated!
It's what happens when the regulatory goal posts are constantly moving.

Got rid of the fake carbon on the dash panels. Much better

Epic upgrade!
I hated the fake carbon in my PFL GT86.
Much nicer now mate.

Cheers, it's one of the things on the facelift that I really like. I didn't want to risk doing it in a single piece like the newer OEM part, but the break in the middle isn't too obvious. Anything to hide the fake carbon - especially when I do have a few real carbon parts in the cabin, it looked really cheap. I'm thinking of doing the two silver parts either side of the centre console as well since they're a bit scratched up. I guess the previous owner had a ring on or something and kept catching it when pushing the engine start button.
Biscuit, yes that'll be me.

I'm counting on it, it's a little too dark at the moment, so it'll match the seats better.

Good to (digitally) see you again

Does it look black black in daylight? I think it probably looks good but it looks a bit grey in the flash

Flash really doesn't help no. It's black.

Looks great there!
Mine faded and settled on a medium grey, similar to the rest of the dash. If you use real suede/alcantara like on the seats it will stay black.
I was thinking about doing the whole center console as well, but it's a much bigger job. It would blend in nicely with the rear seats though.

What did you use for it?
It's suede-like vinyl wrap. It is a bit more difficult to work with than normal vinyl wrap since you can't really heat it to get it in to shape.

Looks really good mate.
