I'd guess that if your fuel pressure gauge uses a capilary line than that is leaking where if goes through the firewall.
Or,have you checked to see if #5 or 6 injector lines are leaking? since you just had a vp44 installed...they say its a bad idea to use your hand to check this on a running engine...lotsa pressure
