Where did you install the VDO sender?  I believe the placement of the
sender can alter the reading by the gauge.  The pressure as the oil leaves
the pump will be higher than the pressure after it's  finished it's
lubrication route.  Soooo, this maybe influencing your readings.  I'm
curious to hear the answer to this so keep me posted.
