Default Dropping fuel pressure under boost... help

Ok here is my setup.

2 walbros in the gas tank Yed in together.
An APS Fuel pressure ragulator (boost oriented)
Racetronics fuel pump wiring harness kit
65# injectors...


I have checked for leaks (multiple times), none
I have removed the APF F/P regulator and gone back to stock and i still dropps under boost.
Replaced the fuel filter.
I have turned the F/P up to 100 PSI (just letting it idle) still no leaks

However when I go into boost the F/P starts dropping....


Thoughts?

My reading (gauge) is being taken from the opposite side of the fuel rail from where it's being feed from.



PS I have not changed the setup, I ran this setup with no issues for 6 months, this is something new and I can't figure out why it's doing it now....

Could it be a voltage drop?

1 of the pumps is either bad or cutting out under higher RPM....i JUST went through this problem.i pulled both pumps and test each 1 to a power and ground and they sounded the same and both flowed fuel.....BUT repeatedly tap the power wire giving it power 1 of them sounded different and was bad.
