The 1988 Audi 80 should have a K-Jetronic continuous fuel injection system. The injectors are not pulsed on and off. Rather, they remain on and the flow is varied. It is possible that the ECU has a fuel flow output signal because most Audis had a trip computer as an option. For example, my 1990 Audi 200 has a trip computer and uses an ECU signal for fuel flow. Some research into the signals provided by the Audi 80 ECU is necessary. If a fuel flow signal is available, the MPGuino could be used.
An interesting explanation of the K-Jetronic is here

According to AudiWorld (
http://www.audiworld.com/model/, the U.S version of the 1988 Audi has CIS-Motronic engine control for the 4 cylinder engine and CIS-E III engine control for the 5 cylinder. The CIS (Continuous Injection System) is the one I mentioned above.
