In terms of what I've heard I'd have to say it's more along the lines of dorifto240 than the rest of you... i've read (heard) horror stories of people blowing turbos/motors because their boost gauges were reading something like 5psi below what they were actually running, and a few stories of people figuring this out before it was too late.
Mainly it's the Boost that I've heard people having problems with.
FWIW, all these failure/faulty gauge stories I've heard (about 2 or 3 in total, all related to autometer boost gauges) were on volkswagen (MkIV) forums on the 1.8T engine.
