Low pressure fuel drop. Eventual 29DC

Hello everyone.

A couple of months ago I did a single turbo swap and manual swap on my 335. For the low pressure setup, I did a PFS double shot bucketed fuel pump. I did the DIY series kit and supplied a 525 for my secondary and a 450 from ECS tuning as my primary. I wired these connections on my own and they support a strong 80psi at idle and regular driving. as I start to creep into boost however, the pressure slowly drops and crashes at about 20 psi before throwing 29DC. I pulled the pump out and inspected it and rewired my connections with stronger butt connectors but the car acts the same. Starting to think I just need to get a new LPFP or its an EKPM issue. The car had no issues prior to the swap and was completely stock up until the swap. See the attached log. Car is a speedtech top mount 6466 and my wastegate spring rate is 12lbs.

Are you certain your 2nd lpfp pump is energizing? Are you using a relay and hobbs switch or something tp energize it? The secondary is a 285, right? If it's a 295 that may ne an issue because there is no internal check valve.

Do you have an external regulator controlling at 80 psi and returning back to tank?

I'm just wondering if your pressure is dropping because only 1 pump is running. Are you PI or an hpfp overdrive system. If PI, your fuel pressure is not even high enough to overcome the boost pressure in the intake manifold.
