:-] Just ordered the walbro pump upgrade, and a brand new fuel pressure regulator (what a pricetag for this little fellow)
Hopefully this will make my Volvo drivable once again. As of now, its a quite expensive peace of metal, just standing there.

Update: Got the walbro fuelpump (should have checked up better before buying), and the FPR. Took out older (still brand new) fuelpump, and load and behold, the tubing + pump was totally dead. The tube had split lenghtwise all the way :-[ Didnt check this first, as the pump was brand new. Got the Walbro 342 pump installed (should have been the 340, as it has the large diameter inlet), and all worked fine, got pressure up to max again. The FPR on the other hand, was for another car (they send me the wrong one) After some fiddling, resulting in me sticking a piece of wire into the valve, just to get the fuel flowing, all was back to normal - well almost that is.

Thnx a million for the help and guidance here, truly amazing :-]
