How much noise do the pumps generate since you are running both the inline pump and the walbro intank pump?

2251, fuel pump noise

Not much man. I noticed it more when I first put in the fuel pumps, but now I hardly ever notice it.

the Walbro being the internal fuel pump makes more noise inside, but I consider myself one of the lucky ones or something b/c it's REALLY quiet inside. It used to make more noise inside after a break-in period but for the last 3 to 4 months at least, I haven't even heard it. I know it's working b/c I can hear the noise on the outside of the car. (I know it's the walbro as well b/c I installed the in-line fuel pump later) I do hear the fuel pumps outside, but it's not at all an annoying noise. It's more like....a cool high-tech whine noise. I really can't give the noise any justice by trying to describe it. I think calling it a "whine" is probably a misnomer to a large degree. More like a high-pitched very pleasing hum.

It's nothing you would associate with a POS car that's not refined. I just think it reflects the high tech nature of our cars is all.

Call me weird or something, but I like the sound of the fuel pumps. Don't ever let any fuel pump noise be some sort of distraction to getting a turbo system. That's ridiculous.

BTW, it's JasonESi_"T" :-)

I was just curious if putting in the inline pump would drive me crazy or not. ;)

Thanks for letting me know, JasonESI_T :)

But I'm sure at one time you were JasonESI. ;)
