Have a VDO oil sender and pressure and temp gauges in the car when I bought it. They were both flakey. Decided it was a ground due to the sender bouncing around. Got that fixed temporarily, kludge, bodge, hack, and one started working. Was poking around and now the pressure gauge gets pegged as soon as I turn the key. I have to thump it to get it to return to zero. Is it the sender, the gauge or something else?

If the gauge is grounding out, it will peg. Check to see that the signal wire is all good. You didnt daisy the signal off the idiot light did you? That will also do it.
