I'd start with checking fuel pressure and flow as per the workshop manual.

Then I'd replace the fuel filter and check it again.

Once you know this information you can make a decision.

if you are running alot of boost and bigger injectors, there is a chance your pump just cant keep up

I'd be checking to see if you have a manifold reference at the fuel pressure reg. ie, no pressure line hooked up to the reg. If it isn't there, it will run uber rich on vac, fine at 0 manifold vac and lean on boost.
