Scott,

They do have 'shift lite' tachs where a light comes on when a preset rpm
is exceeded.  Another idea is to purchase a rev limiter rotor.  This has
an internal spring and limits the rpm.  These are available in 4500,
4950, 5100, 5400, 5900.  There are more, but too high to be helpful for
us VW folk!

Every once in a while, my van gets driven by a non-VW person (heaven forbid).  Instead of being paranoid about the natural tendency to over-rev the engine by such drivers, I would love to have some device that would do this 'monitoring.'
