I'm having trouble with this partly double sided infusion. This was the most recent try. Layup:

(Mould Side)
200 g/m² Glass Twill Weave
300 g/m² Carbon Biaxial +-45°
300 g/m² Glass Biaxial +-45°
400 g/m² Glass Unidirectional 0°
10 mm Gurit Corecell M80 Foam, Perforation Grid 2mm / 20 mm
300 g/m² Glass Biaxial +-45°
200 g/m² Carbon Unidirectional 0°
200 g/m² Carbon Unidirectional 0°
300 g/m² Carbon Biaxial +-45°
160 g/m² Carbon Twill Weave
78 g/m² Glass Twill Weave

MTI hose on left side, feed line on the right.
Can't measure absolute pressure, but relative pressure was -0,93 Bar.
Resin was degassed until no more bubbles were visible.
Didn't turn out well. It looks like the flow front on the A side was significantly slower than on top, which resulted in complete dry spots.

Do you have any advice on what to do differently next time? I already tried infusing from back to front instead of left to right, which turned out better.

As above, that's a large stack to be working with, slow the resin right down and give it a chance to soak through. Resin doesn't flow vertically through ud/borax as well as woven fabrics so that won't be helping
