i think alot of people use the QA1 k member for turbo setups idk about the fuel pressure regulator, i would imagine that you would want a high quality regulator though. Losing fuel pressure in boost would be terrible for your motor.

As far as I know, you won't need an aftermarket fuel regulator on the non-return style systems. As far as the K-member is concerened, there is really no way to say which one your better off using if your constructing a turbo kit yourself. Yor best bet is to get a K-member and fabricate around it.

There is no fuel pressure regulator, installing one would require completely replumbing
the entire fuel system.
Its not nessicarry for you to install one anyway, your current setup (42lb/hr, 255 pump) means your going to be limited to around 500 WHP or less, and the stock style fuel system will handle that just fine.

I don't have the cobra tank swap, but I did the SVT focus swap, and I did not see anything like this. Also, the fuel pressure changed a pretty good amount when going from the stocker to SVT pump, so I would say there is no regulator.
