Have been advised that this would be a worthwhile mod to consider with my planned mods.
The kits you buy, are they involved to fit or pretty straightforward?
Any other tips or experiences would be great guys

i should be doing this at some point soon, they look pretty straightforward, as long as the green plates shielding the oem imjectors have been removed already.
What are your plans though? its not really necessary unless your shooting for 400+ IMO and even then, if its mapped correctly they you can still get away with it.

Wont be aim aiming that high for power, well not just yet.
just thought as it was reasonably inexpensive, would be worth considering as a precaution.
As the injectors will be coming out anyway soon to be replaced, might be worth doing.
BTW car is 02WRX

This is where it gets confusing, one person tells you you need something then the next person tells you otherwise
And no the person that told me i needed one is not selling one

I know where your coming from cookstar, thats what gets me!!
Even if you fitted one, would it not help the engine at all running 300/300?

I just hear a lot about (is it number 2 piston) being starved of fuel?
Surely whether seriously needed or not this may help prevent an engine rebuild, or am I barking up the wrong tree here

its number 3 piston, but that aside the car can be mapped to add slightly more fuel to cylinder 3. 300/300 is not stressing the fuel system at all. I run standard fuel pressure (3 bar) with large injectors and get circa 380/400. Standard fuel rails, standard reg. However i will be changing to parallel for the next stage, but still until my mapper says otherwise, the standard fpr will stay in place.

if you are going to get some, i'd speak to Carl Davey as he has produced some quite recently which were insulated and did a very good job of keeping them cool iirc,
heatsoak on other billet rails is a common problem so i am led to believe?

these are designed for newage cars only im afraid 
not sure if there is a conversion kit available though but i doubt it. Its mainly due to the US designing all cool parts from the newage car when up until recently it was mostly for classics over here.....role reversal!
