Remove the gauge & see if the issue goes away.

Have you read the instructions, what level have you set the peak warning at ? Sounds to me like you have set it too low so the tell tale is saying it's over boosting. What spec is your car and somebody more knowledgeable than me will tell you what level of boost the car should be making.

Yes disconnect, if something fitted causes an issue, 1st fault analyse by removing to see if the issue goes away, then work from there.
