Default Bent fuel rail..Maybe?? Help!

Hi,

I have a JDM WRX which has STI 440CC yellow injectors as a standard component on my M97 WRX.

I think i've bent the fuel rail on cyclinder 1 when removing and reinstalling the intake manilfold to fit an AVO silicone intake hose.

The car is idling like crap and beefy as... I've checked everywhere for vaccum leaks couldnt find any, iso 've inspected the fuel injector and the rail, it seems the rail isn't lining up correct when i look down the injector 'hole' it is off centre... compared to the cyclinder behind.

What are my options? I was hoping that a MY99 Fuel rail will fit using my existing injectors?

Can somone clarify if it will fit?

Thank you!

D

99 and 97 are different injectors. 99 have a short Pindle cap and the 97 have a longer Pindle cap so it can reach further into the manifold.

All good Baylee, i can source a jdm rail with injectors by next week, i was just hoping i could fix it with a MY99 rail beforehand. Just need to know if the my99 rail and fuel injectors are a direct bolt on.

Hopefully sourced a rail, case closed for now.

I think the ADM my98 is the same as the MY97 JDM.

Thanks for all the feedback!
