It's not a difficult mod,once the inlets off that is! The parts you need can be bought easy enough,i used 3m of 8mm braided fuel line,two 't' pieces,a rail adaptor,uprated fuel reg,and a few clamps,thats about it.Total cost without fuel reg around £60,but cheaper with standard fuel hose.if you don't want to cut your metal fuel lines,you'll need 3 more rail adaptors at £15 each from carl davey.

Hear Carl Davey, specialist Subaru Impreza parts supply
I notice he's put them up £1.50! But well worth it!

No, if you cut the metal fuel lines a couple of inch's from the injector rails,you can then slide the fuel line onto it and clamp it on.You will need one adaptor to fit onto the rail where the standard pressure reg used to be.
Im also running a sard reg,i fitted it at the front by the oil filer(look at my profile pic),made a bracket out of ally.

Do it properly and go for a full -6 setup.

Rails converted for -6 fittings can be had from Zak @ Mocom racing.

It also looks awesome. Here's a pic of my setup.

just had a look, Mocom's parrallel fuel kit is £555 and includes

Fuelab Fuel Pressure Regulator,
Sytec High Flow Fuel Filter,
A pair of -6AN Fuel Rails,
Braided PTFE Fuel Hose,
All Anodized Motorsport Fittings

The rails on their own are £85 but says
Please note if purchasing on an exchange basis:
These are stock items and available for immediate despatch however at point of sale you will be charged £150.00, on receipt of your original fuel rails we will re-fund £65.00

Yep, lot's of cash! When i did mine i got rid of the breather system ans went vta,got rid of the carbon canister to vta also,fitted inlet spacer insulators,header tank spacers,and throttke coolant bypass. All of which cost less than the rails your looking at on their own!

The only reason I went parallel was the fact that my Walbro over powered my standard reg and it let too much fuel back to the tank and Number 1 ran lean and picked up in the bore.

So I thought I do the lot properly with a proper adjustible reg.
It wasn't a cheap affair though.
I've now gone a step further with a swirl pot and an external Bosch 044 for my next build
