Call Ray Crowe and Malloy and order the injector o-rings and the FPD.
Any local auto parts store should have HP fuel injector hose.
Be careful with your wiring harness, its brittle.
Good luck.

The fuel hose recall kit will take care of 4 hoses and give you some new injector seals. It is completely worth the $$.

check out boostcontroller.com Great company..i lost my adjustment screw off my hallman. I emailed the company asking if they sell a replacement screw and without even requesting a new one. They shipped 1 out for free and it was here in like 2 days.

This is what I'd do if I were working on that car.
2 new primary injectors, $154/ea from Mazdaspeed Motorsports development
1 new or used WG and PC solenoid
New plugs and wires since your in there
Silicone hoses for only the ones that are loose. Try to avoid replacing any of the larger hoses with silicone. The hoses that are down by the WG and PC actuators never get hard, the rubber lines fit better than silicone. Silicone lines usually require clamps, silicone hose tears easily with clamps.
Replace check valves as needed.
Fuel recall hose kit, $97 dealer list ~$70 from Mazdaspeed
New FPD, $79 or so from Mazdaspeed Motorsports
I'd also get the secondary injectors cleaned and flow tested at www.rcengineering.com or similar place.
Lastly if the wiring harness is in really bad shape I'd buy a new one from Mazdaspeed Motorsports for $500. This will save you headaches down the road.

yeah that catalog sux. i think ill buy my parts elsewhere.
anyways, i found some "wetness" by the secondary injector, but other than that the whole top of the motor was dry. i did what majhik said and primed the fuel system but no leaks, i could smell gas but it must have been vapors. anyways, i called ray at malloy mazda and left a message, hopefully he will call back shortly.
i just got off the phone with mazda usa and all my 3 recalls have been done to my FD. would u guys still recommend getting the new fuel lines???
