Can anyone explain how to use MPL sensor with Arduino MEGA?

I am trying to connect a MPL3115A2 Altitude/Pressure/Temp Sensor Breakout which I bought from Hobbytronics to my Arduino Mega. What I had in mind was (Breakout -> Arduino):

3.3V -> 3.3 V GND -> GND SDA -> A4 SCL -> A5

The information which I've found so far is very conflicting and I'm not sure whether or not I should be using pull-up or in-line resistors, and if so, what value?

The code which the product page links to also differs, with one stating that the Wire library is unsafe to use with a 3.3V rated sensor due to the internal pull-ups, but the other code uses the Wire library?

If anyone could advise me on how best to use this sensor without frying it, it would be much appreciated!
