Your not using a liquid filled pressure gauge are you? If so you might want to look into draining it. 
You all realize that the rubber plug on a liquid filled gauge is designed for equalization, right?
Once it's equalized it's just as accurate as any other gauge but 10X more durable and will out last a drained liquid filled gauge by 10X. Right?
Dragula pressure problems imo of course, usually is caused by the inlet plumbing, swear. Just trying to help, call it bs, I don't care.
Now if your system had/has pipe dope in it, then all bets are off and then it's time for you to start over from scratch. Each piece needs to be cleaned individually and that's not easy to do with fuel line.

How do you figure that rubber is gonna move or breathe..
its sealed and once that cheap rubber gets hard in
the heat under that hood it wont move at all... drain
the gauge and either drill a hole in the rubber or
leave it out but then dirt might get in

Each time you look at the gauge you equalize it, I did not invent them. They have to be mounted properly also with the plug up.
A gauge mounted under the hood is only for rough reference imo. It don't have to be exact, it's not going to be the same all the time because of temperature changes in the air and the motor. And a gauge mounted to any kind of power plant that makes any kind of power/vibration should not have permanent gauge mounted anyway because vibs eat gauges. Especially drained liquid filled gauges.
Use a data acquisition system to monitor your engine during runs.They are cheap enough today for everyone I bet verses 10 years ago.
