Default oil pressure gauge problems??

Hia lads, some of you might have seen my last thread showing off my new bugeye its all sweet apart from the OPG, the boost gauge works fine but the OPG seems to "redline" when i rev lol when the engine is idling it sits in the middle but soon as i rev the engine ( even just a little) the needle bounces off the limit like crazy, and makes a right racket to boot, im presuming its just wired wrong and not knackered, but i dont know where to start TBH iv found the wires for the boost gauge but i cant seem to see the ones for the OPG coming into the bay?
I appreciate any help lads
