Is the part of the cluster gauge that lights up "intercooled turbo" removable in any way... even if I can dremel it out? Im not familiar with the backs of gauages, any input is appreciated.

  Thanks,

here is a web site that will tell you how to make the intercooled turbo lettering on the dash light up http://home.comcast.net/~aldridgec/TGP/interior/illuminating_turbo.htm
1990 TGP: stock minus the K&N air filter and high flow cat
1999 Oldsmobile Aurora: What a step up from my 95 Monte Carlo
1967 Plymouth Belvedere II: 318 c.i., Flowmaster Exhaust, and in deserate need of new rear tires.

Thanks, that seems easy enough, But I was wondering if it could actually be removed, which i think it can... Also, is the turbo boost dial removable? Im working on a custom project.

Yup, you can cut the intercooled turbo out with a knife.  The boost gauge, probably, but as others will tell you it's not accurate.  I'm pretty sure I have just the face of a tgp cluster if you want one.

anyone know how big the turbo boost gauge is in inches, roughly?

It isn't a round gauge...it is like a quarter circle, and it is roughly 1.5"x1.5".  IMO it isn't worth removing from the dash...they are all inaccurate, and it wouldn't be easy to remove.
