1. Has the fuel pump been replaced? as could be getting tired.
2. Replace the fuel filter if been on a long while, am suprised they did not do this there.
3. Check the condition of the engine earthing connections, could be limiting the operation of the injectors. Also if battery to chassis earth is corroded could be affecting the pump.
4. A longshot if you take the pump out look at the filter sock at the bottom of the pump could be crud in the tank restricting the pump from lifting the fuel.
5. Are you still running the OE FPR? maybe this is not allowing the pressure to be correct. If all the above don't help replace with a after market item. Aeromotive or similar. AVOID THE FLEEBAY CHEEPIES!!!! You will then be able to fit a pressure gauge to monitor the fuel pressure.
Am sure others will comment in time.

The bill it sytec fuel filter is also new il check if correctly fitted ie right way
Running a fuelab FPR brand new pressure increases on boost and vice versa
