Default Fuel pressure gauge

went the cheaper route this time and purchased a glowshift electric gauge. Got everything wired up lastnight and took it out for a drive to find that the gauge dosent read the drop in pressure at WOT instead it bounces up and down anywhere from 12 to 30 psi. Would the gauge be the problem here, or could my lift pump be messed up?

from what i here glowshift are 50/50. i have one and it reads steady at 18 in the summer months since it got cold it stays about 16 or so not sure if thats normal i dont really drive wot so cant really say. it might be the sending unit i think thats typically the problem with glowshift.

Are you just needing a fuel pressure setup?
