Hi Mauricio,
I'll inform Rob M. (CDNRacer) of your request, he has a head full of useless trivial Porsche info! :-) no doubt he could send you some photos.

The car in question was a high priced modification of the basic 911 Turbo. The first picture I posted is a stock dash from the period. The last picture is a closeup of the dials. The tachometer is the largest dial and goes inthe middle with the speedometer to its right and the comparably sized dial to the left.The gas/oil pressure would be on the far left and the clock on the far right.

Left to right: fuel (small guage), Water temp/oil pressure (medium guage) tachometer (largest guage) speedometer (medium again) and clock (small guage), pretty much in order of the third picture I posted, but centered as in the first picture.
