do i need to install a return pipe to my tank or can i just pipe the return line back into the main line, or into a swirl tank ?

Back to one of the tanks is the best place, probably the main one. Don't just let it flow into the top - it'll airate the fuel.

So it's best to pipe it to a swirl tank or well in a return fitting, I can't put a "T" fitting into the main line ?

You can't do that, if you could then there wouldn't be a return line at all.

Some new cars only have one fuel line, but that's because the pressure regulator is in the pump, not the fuel rail like yours probably is.

I only have one fuel line, I don't have a regulator in the pump AND I return into the top of the tank :D
