Looks like the snubber isn't doing its job and letting pulses of the pump through to the gauge.You might want to try a needle valve and barely crack it open to numb the gauge down.

The snubber should have been as close to the VP44 as possible. Relocate the snubber, replace the gauge, and see what happens.
