The fuel rails are fine.
STis benefit from a better fuel pump. The standard one can maintain flow but not necessarily pressure - this can lead to leaning out.
There may be other issues - but if you think it is fuel delivery related this would be the most straightforward solution - fit a Walbro and decent regulator.

i've just went through a rebuild on my MY98 type r and asked andy f about when would be the best time for a remap
answer was "as soon as it's been run in"
i did not go above 3000 rpm for the first 500 miles then 3500 after that for the next 500, this was the advice from the garage i went to for running it in
and i'm sure folk will have their own views on this....
the engine will be ok as you wont be putting it under any strain as you wont be using boost.
a walbro fuel pump and a fpr was fitter after the rebuild with a h & s 3" full decat, along with a apexi remap from mr f
very happy with it now,the v6 engine pulls like a good un
