I beleive that the fuel rail which you will have to use, either a frst fuel rail or a cosworth fuel rail has the FP regulator on the end of it.

Just doing the same thing myself.

Been building my head up today.

The fuel pressure regulator is at the end of the injector rail, its the thing i've got attached to the inlet manifold with a red silicone hose.

Just remember if you're attaching this to an MFI head you will need an adaptor plate as the ports do not line up correctly. Here's mine which i've been doing today.

No no no.
The fuel goes from the filter to the fuel rail and will return via the pressure regulator to the tank.

ah right.sorry i thought the fuel would have to go through the pressure regulator.so it actually goes in to the connection on the left hand side of the fuel rail and then will return via the connection under the regulator.
