Default Defi Turbo gauge reading with engine off?

Mine reads a little below 0, does anyone know if this is normal? My sender is mounted a bit off from perfectly vertical, but I don't know if that would make a difference.

As long as you know where "zero" is it's fine. Just add or subtract the little difference from your actual reading to get your true pressure.

That's with the key in the accessory position (that's where I pulled "ignition" power, I'll rewire it for proper ignition power at some other time).

I would expect a $200+ gauge to be able to read properly without having to do a mental calibration.
