Those pressures are not acceptable. Pressures below 45 psig can damage injectors - maybe already has.
There is a regulator spring upgrade that you should try.

You also need to have it read for codes (DTC's). Your troubles could be unrelated to the low fuel pressure. Do you have a way of checking the high pressure oil pressures (ICP readings)? A scangaugeII is about the cheapest way to go for a scan tool ($150).
The 2004 year was a transition year for engines. Do you know if your ICP sensor is behind the turbo or on your passenger side valve cover?
What oil do you use? How long has it been since the oil and filter were changed?
Are you sure your batteries are strong (ie load check them individually)?

There's your smoking gun for the rough runing/lack of power issue. And the low fuel pressure more than likely caused it to fail. I'd address the low fuel pressure while you're replacing that injector.

Tousley Ford parts is hard/impossible to beat for OEM pricing. AFA aftermarket fuel pump--Airdog 2. I wouldn't p**s on FASS after all my expensively bad experiences with them.

Tousley Ford won't sell just the pump, only the entire HFCM.
O'Reilly's and AutoZone want $279 for the pump only. I found the same one they sell here Airtex E2340 Fuel Pump | Auto Parts Warehouse
