According to the service manual (which is easily found on the internet
) page EF & EC100, the fuel pressure gauge should be put inline with the hose right after the fuel filter in the engine bay. Fuel pressure should be about 2.45 bar at idle and about 2.94 bar when pressure regulator vacuum hose is removed.
See attached screenshot of the manual: (the lower box with the walkie-talkie looking thing crossed out is the procedure without the Consult diagnostic tool.)
