    despite being mounted on a rubber isolated frame, all external pumps are still noisy, you get used to it

    the 044 are known to be quite noisy

    i would say try wrapping it in a fibreglass blanket to try and block the sound but i might cause the pump to over heat a bit

    cheers guys! ill get used to it! lol can any one suggest the right idle fuel pressure it should be on? after a high rev it almost cuts out then is ok. would that be because i have the intercooler on but not had a tune yet just using standard ecu or because i have removed stock reg and just using the rising fuel reg.

    thanks for the help!
