Default FYI on the Walbro Fuel Pump

I have a 3" Turboback exhaust and I could here my fuel pump over my exhaust. Just to let those of you know how have the Walbro fuel pump that if you can hear your fuel pump a lot louder than normal then you might have to stop by where ever you purchase it and get a new one. I bought and had mine installed at Mastro and this was one of the first ones they have see with this problem. So everyone don't jump to conclusions, you usually hear your fuel pump when you turn on the car, mine just happend to be really loud and I even stalled out at 71mph on the way there. Mastro replaced it with no problems. I had my fuel pump swapped out when I got my Ecutek in October, so I had it for abour four months.

Just giving everyone a heads up!

I really didn't notice any difference except when they hand me my stock pulley back. Man there is a considerable weight difference. But I was there until 8pm. Not because of the fuel pump they had that done by 430 and I was there longer because my friend finally decided to become and adult and make car payments on a new 05 Legacy 2.5 GT. I talked him into it. It's a lot better than the 93 Paseo he had.

Personally, close to two years and no problems with mine.
I don't think you would have noticed of your exhaust. he he...
