Why on earth would you supply positive pressure to the return side of the pump, no wonder it popped off the leak-offs!!!
I'd highly recommend you do a little research into why this might be a bad idea in terms of playing with the static timing system, there's a few threads on it. There's near enough no gain to be had on anything but the highest tuned engines, especially if the pump is near stock, you're better off spending your time and money on installing some large hose to and from the pump/tank... circa 10+mm...
And renewing the rotors in the vane pump inside, after 100k or so, they're wearing out...
And yes, IPP gauge is a must if you're installing one.
