Problems w/ Westech fuel pressure gauge.

I installed a Westech fuel pressure gauge on my 01 about 9 mos. ago. Everything went fine and it was working well. 14-15 psi at idle 12-13psi at cruise and 10 psi at wot.
Recently I noticed that it has been pegged at 16 psi. Sometimes it sticks as well. I also noticed that it doesn't come down much from 16psi even under full throttle.
Not sure if there is a problem w/ the sender or the guage. I'm pretty sure that the pump isn't pushing those kind of pressures.
TIA.
