Default DOHC fueel pressure

Hi,
I'm going to fit an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. But I have hard time finding at what pressure it should be adjusted. what is the correct fuel pressure in the injection ramp of my engine : 2.0i DOHC (Sierra/Scorpio) ?

The Haynes service and repair manual says:

[...]

Is the "System control pressure" (2.5 bar) the correct working fuel pressure ?

If it is not, does anyone know what is the correct working pressure please, or could tell me a rough value to start with the tuning?

Thanks a lot.
