You better believe it...
Had the same problem. The gauge was going all over, but would peg when unplug and go to zero when grounded (the worse ever Not Fail Safe design by Porsche as an open in the line would tell you everything is fine...) which confirmed that the gauge and wire was OK.
Back to the removal, once I took it off the engine and had it on the floor in a vice, the base only came off after I had the air gun at 140Psi, so there is no way it could have come off in-situ without causing major damage. See post 14 of da

I put a new Pressure Sender in and its been fine ever since.
