no fuel pressure equals bad ok nobody runs with no fuel pressure because there wont be no force in the fuel and when the injectors they will open nothing will happen because the fuel will just sit there in the tank and if you have a pump stuff happens and then you will have to tell the megasquirt there is zero pressure and then it will run fine

Actually I think you mean an ADJUSTABLE FPR. And if the OP had bothered to read the FAQ he wouldn't be asking this question. But since I'm nice I'll do all the work for the OP and hold his hand... straight from the FAQ located here:

As for the m-tuned fuel rail, that is going to depend on how much power you are running... thanks for telling us that btw.

You do not need to bother with increasing fuel pressure when running engine management. Since you are in full control, you simply need to add larger injectors (which you can now control) and utilize the stock fuel pressure regulator. The money saved on the FMU is money spent on injectors that can support your goals.

Heh.
Ok, in all seriousness, we've had our fun.
To the OP: Normally you won't need an additional fuel pressure regulator if you're running anything like a Megasquirt and have injectors which are properly sized for the application. Just let the stock FPR on the fuel rail do its job.
Now, it's been observed by some that the Walbro 255 is "too much" fuel pump for the stock FPR to accommodate. IOW, it flows so much fuel that the FPR can't bypass enough of it to maintain stock fuel pressure at low load conditions. However, this is typically only a concern when running the stock ECU as, again, ECUs like the MS can be trimmed to accommodate the additional pressure. Just stick a gauge on the fuel rail to make sure that the fuel pressure isn't ridiculously outrageous at idle (100 PSI is probably a bit much) and you should be fine.
And, for the love of Allah, try to use punctuation every now and then.
