I'll certainly post results from the temperature sensors (including graphs and stuff) once I have some available.

The problem with the 'triggering' and ignition outputs is very close to being fixed, so my car should be back on the dyno for more running-in any day now.

Edit: This weekend it will probably be going on the dyno. I'm not sure how much running-in will be achieved in one session.

I've just ordered some 'Cool White' WLED-x5 LED miniature wedge base bulbs to replace the stock cluster bulbs. This is where I ordered them from (top of the page):
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Fmini-wedge.html
Those particular LEDs were recommended here:
http://www.mr2.com/forums/interior-mods/Toyota-MR2-29633-how-replace-gauge-cluster-bulbs.html

I was prompted to order the white LEDs because I'm about to get an Omori Electronic Boost Gauge from Dylan, and I want the rest of the cluster to match the white backlighting in the Omori gauge.

I may also change my speedo to one with a higher top speed, but that's not as important.

your cluster is going to be lavender coloured ;)

next time I see you ask me about cluster LED's and i'll run you through it.

I hope those LEDs work nicely. They look really good according to the pic on reply #6 in this forum thread
http://www.mr2.com/forums/interior-mods/Toyota-MR2-29633-how-replace-gauge-cluster-bulbs.html

Is there anything that I need to know that isn't already described in that thread anyway?

I followed the same thread when I changed mine over to LED and did it with no trouble at all, it's pretty easy to do

Cool, did you use the same WLED-x5 LEDs from SuperBrightLeds ?

US and JDM/AUD gauges are different - Ours have a purple transparency layer.

Edit: Now I know what you mean by the purple transparency layer, and why you said my cluster is going to look lavender coloured. 
If I wanted it to look white, how else could I do it anyway if the transparency layer is purple?

Nah, I got mine from Garage1217
http://store.garage1217.com/custom-twist-socket-aluminum-ringed-high-output-bulb.html

Just a suggestion, if your interested in Aluminium dial rings maybe you could get a set and install them at the same time to save you having to pull the dash apart twice
