When I fire mine up it buries the needle. I believe mine is the same as yours and thus it is normal...

That sounds like a good assumption.

That's if he said at startup. He said at idle. At startup, my gauge will pretty much bury itself. After some cruising around, and I come back down to idle, it sits under 10psi.
Unfortunately, my needle broke late last year, so I will have to send the gauge into Autometer to have it reattached. Not sure what it'd read, if I were driving it that is.
