Default HELP, HELP....Fuel system setup

Ok lets start with the layout i have....

The connections for the swirl pot are...

BOTTOM... FEED THE MAIN PUMP
NEXT UP....SWIRL POT SUPPLY FROM LIFT PUMP
NEXT UP....RETURN FROM SWIRL POT TO TANK
TOP..........RETURN FROM ENGINE FUEL RAIL

SO
I have a facet red top feeding a swirl pot from my tank this is then returned to tank.
I have a 044 from the swirl pot feeding the engine with a return at the top of the swirl pot.

the problem is it seems the 044 is being starved of fuel...
I have confirmed this by isolating the 044 & priming the swirl pot with facet.
Then when the car starts the pump is nice and quiet until 5-6 mins later it starts getting noisey and faster.

it looks like the facet cant keep up with the 044, but have seen many setups like this.

HELp im getting confused with why
