Built it all myself mate. I have a local supplier of hoses and fittings so that helps.

Ok 1 is feed, 1 is return the other is a breather that's routed via the carbon canister.

The rails were £130, the braided hoses and Goodridge fittings were about £250 i think, it was 3 years ago so cant remember. Plus reg.

All in including swirl pot, lines, fittings, injectors (740cc) FPR, and both pumps (walbro and bosch 044) I don't think I got much change from £1500

I binned everything breather wise forward of the bulkhead pipes. I've put a piece of vacuum hose with a 1 way vlave in it that vents down to the chassis rail. I've left the solenoid valve wired up in case it threw up a Check Engine Light.

Why don't you just run reverse flow??? It's alot cheaper than the parallel setup and fine for over 400bhp, it might be an option for you mate? Where the OE fuel pressure regulator is positioned becomes your INLET to the fuel rails instead of the OUTLET. You can only do this if you have an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator. I've known scooby's to run over 400bhp with this setup and no problems. Hope this helps mate.

The Valve I used for the breather was in amongst the Canister Hosing. It's arrowed so you know which way "flow" goes through it.
