The Rpm gauge is no good bring it back to where you got it or talk to the installer.
Are they cheap ,made in china gauges.
Talk to the vendor about it see whwt they say.

They should warranty the pulley but why would the gauge if you put in a aftermarket one.

You are not supposed to take off the needle when you do that. My buddy did that in his integra and his car always read 4k above what it really was. He took off the needle revved it to 4 and put the needle on and it fixed? try it?
