Default Fiesta Turbo fuel pressure adjustment help required

In need of a bit of help for a mate... basically his zetec turbo is running a fiesta turbo fiel pressure regulator but before he got hold of it someone has been tampering with the adjustment screw...

Basically we wanna know without actually having a pressure guage connected, is it possible to get the fuel pressure set roughly back to standard (3 bar at idle i believe)... and if anyone knows how many turns of the adjustment screw from fully in or from fully out that the standard pressure will be achieved?

anyone want to be a bloody lifesaver please

he's gonna buy a gauge but its not going to turn up for a few days.

just wondering if standard pressure could be set roughly eg... wind the adjustment screw fully in then back it out 3 full turns

does anyone know what standard fuel pressure is on a fiesta turbo? having trouble finding a definite answer, its below 3 bar but not sure how much below

and to adjust... is the adjuster screw screwed in to increase or screwed in to decrease pressur?
