Guys on the dutch scirocco-club pointed me to the following movie:

Check the MFA at 3:42!!!!!

I know the fiscon telephone upgrade includes boost pressure etc so no need for a boost guage , Nelson_R32 might be able to shed some light as he has it fitted to his R32

If its in th CANBUS it can be displayed.... just not sure how... You need the software. Not sue there is a G meter as standard tho...

yeah I knew about the fiscon unit, but I wonder how they did the G-force readout...

The G meter might be an output from one of the ESP sensors. My Vag-com cant read it tho...

Mine neither...
Those aftermarket modules are too expensive, in my opinion...
Too bad this is not a thing we can "enable" with our vagcom

It will likely be a reading from one of the two acceleration sensors onboard the car.
VAG-COM can read the data from them, in real time, I've not done it, so not sure what the output signal gives its readings in.
I guess they've just made the add on software module process the signal from the can-bus and output it to the MFA.

Does anybody on here know how to do/get hold of this?
