Regarding the accusump pressure gauge "popping off" what was your permanent solution?

I would pull the oil filter off, cut it open and inspect it for debris. The gauge is an average of the actual pressure, my guess is it went to 0. Imho, if your pressure is going down under braking.... you need a better pan/baffling in addition to the accusump.
