I went with the 1/4" unit because I think it's closer to the actual din size of the fuel lines.
this will be long, I'll try to make it easy.
the begi gets installed on the return side of things after the stock FPR.
from the return fuel line at the bottom of that bracket, you'll see the gold and black fitting that goes straight to the return fitting at that bracket. PIC #1
this line you custom make and connect to the IN side of the beggi, PIC#2 notice the sender for my pressure gauge and the brass 1/4 90 degree fitting.
on the backside of the begi fuel comes out and gets connected to the stock returne line. I have another brass 1/4NPT fitting there and a 1/4NPT to -6 nipple, then a -6 to -6 swivel collar. And then a -6 to fuel line nipple (adapter). I don't have the size sitting here. this nipple and the black and gold thing are special batinc.net parts. all the rest can be had at many places. I used this set up because I had it sitting here left over from the other fuel line stuff. You can do it many ways.
the black line with the coiled protector thing is the stock line that goes down through the tin and to the tunnel line.
I used - six hose
(1) 120 degree -6 hose end
(1) -6 to 1/4" npt nipple, male to male, with 1/8" plug for a fuel sender
(2) 1/4" brass 90 degree fittings
(1) 1/4"npt to -6 nipple, male to male
(1) -6 swivel collar, female to female
(1) 14mm 1.5 X -6 union alloy $9.85 from batinc.net
(1) 14mm straight to -6 hose end $17.20 from batinc.net
those two things at the end are exactly how they are written on their receipt.
they call collars couplings and nipples, or hex nipples unions.
if you are doing your drain back to the case and need part numbers and stuff read this thread
excuse me for a second
the test port on the drivers side rail has a cap on it. I drilled and tapped this port for a oil filled 1/8' npt pressure gauge. I used this to see better when adjusting from the engine side, easier to see than a gauge in the front. Here's a picture. Another pelican has it and hasn't returned it, otherwise I'd mail it to you, cause you need a spare to put back on when you're done.

2. Did you simply relocate the stock fuel return line (to the tank) from the fuel rail to the "out" on the BEGi? Again, any special adapters needed?
3. Where can I get a check valve and line?
4. I read on BEGi's website and in a few of your posts that it's important to know the fuel pressure while adjusting the FMU. I am installing a boost/vacuum gauge, but I did not have plans to install a fuel pressure gauge. Is there a feasible way to measure the fuel pressure during the adjustment process w/o installing a gauge?
