fuel pressure regulaot or vacuum leaks are the only real things that can cause this.
i had an et with a shitty regulator and its fuel economy was crazy.

just swap the complete rail and reg with one from someone off the foruum. its not a bad job to do

does it stall at all? as if so its a vacuum/boost leak

Would i put the guage between the pump and rail or after the old regulator.??

Probably just before. Are you sure that One or more of your injectors are partially stuck open? Ie bore wash. Fuel reg is the likely condidate but could also be a knackered afm

Would it run rough with a knackered afm??
Possible boost leak around crossover pipe ends as it does stall when pulling up to a junction with brakes on
