Different application but serves the same purpose - I installed a fuel vacuum gage on my Rabbit truck diesel. The Mk1 VE pump draws fuel from the tank via suction. The vacuum gage is a very good indicator of the state of the filter, and can even predict gelling fuel and ultimately the health of the vane lift pump integral on the VE IP.
But then again I like instrumentation so I also monitor the VE internal pump pressure which controls dynamic advance among other things.
