Good economical oil pressure gauge. No issues installing. As with any gauge the sensor and the gauge must be properly grounded to ensure proper operation. The oil pressure gauge sensor always presents a unique challenge since you don't want oil leaks at the sensor and a sealant is a must. It would be nice if Sunpro and other oil pressure gauge manufacturers would provide a separate ground line or a piercing hose/band clamp to properly ground the sensor. I made a piercing hose/band clamp from an old stainless steel band clamp, small nuts, and a sharpened bolt.
Final issue: I was unable to find less than a 0-100 psi electric oil pressure gauge. It would be nice if Sunpro and other manufacturers would consider making a 0-60 psi or 0-70 psi gauge since all the vehicles I have owned over the past 30+ years have not had an oil pump that produced over 55 psi, even when the oil is cold, and normal operation is in the 30-40+ psi range. Less than half the readable face of the gauge is used and the range of operation where you may detect a problem is less than 10 percent of the usable face. Although this is still better than a dummy light or "normal" gauge, it doesn't promote effective troubleshooting.
ProSport EVO gauges are on the right track with a dual readout electric gauge where you get the digital display of an analog gauge and a numeric readout, but their pressure range is 0-150 psi also making the normal range of operation less than 10 percent of the readable face. While the numeric readout is great and is an excellent troubleshooting aide . . . I would not want to see it go away), it is not good to concentrate or be distracted by up and down numbers while you are driving.

It jumps a lot, I tried several ways of installing it. I adjusted location, even tried to put a second reducer to dampen out any pulses. I tried a couple different signal wire types, and needless to say it still jumped all over the place. I purchased the Sunpro mechanical oil pressure gauge and it works great, although I did have to run an oil line into the car.
