The gauge can definetely be used in a VW. I've seen it on a Rabbit GTi that
had a calloway turbo on it. The turbo had been removed but the gauge was
still there, and it was still working, so I don't see why you couldn't use
it. In this case it was beeing used in conjunction with a turbo, I think
that's what it's normally used for. I could be wrong.... I hope this helps.
