Question Pressure gauge live feed help?

I've wired in a boost, oil temp and pressure gauge. Both oil temp and boost are fine. But pressure will read correct-ish 60psi when ignition is switched to point two, but when at three or motor running it will be at full psi (100), I know this is not right. The engine and oil are all fine.
The live feed is taken off of the stereo feed.
Any ideas, should I move to another feed?
And which one would be best? The other two gauges are fine?

Oil pressure will drop as the oil heats up. Mines off the scale on start up.

Question

Could be. Mine easily tops 7 bar on start up, (100+ psi), but has dropped to 2-3 bar once warm, on tickover, with 6 bar when on load.
