Hmm...what type of gauge was in it originally (factory or aftermarket? mechanical or electrical?) and with what type of gauge did you replace it? It's not impossible for the factory-style sending unit to be FUBAR, and if you replaced a factory electrical gauge with an aftermarket mechanical gauge, the latter is more likely to be accurate.
FWIW, 10-15 PSI hot at idle, while not outstanding, is adequate. A long-standing rule of thumb is that you want to see 10 PSI on the pressure gauge for every 1000 RPM.
