Default installed walbro 255 fuel pump and...

I completed the install and thanks to the posts here, it went well.

I did get the check engine light and flashing cruise control light but I cleaered it with the Cobb AP and it has not returned.

The $20 install kit is not needed for the the 06' STi so save your money. I only used the kit's included clamps which can be purchased from any auto parts store for $1.

Concern I have is this; everyone said how loud this pump is and mine is barley audible. Even without the back seat in it is very quiet. Turnng the key into the on position yields a very quiet 3 second wine from the pump. With the seat installed, I can barely hear it with the car turned off.

In short, I notice no audible difference between OEM and this Walbro 255.

The car operates normaly.

Has Walbro changed the pump or is mine broken?

Steve

It gets a little louder with time. Plus if your tank is full of gas, you wont hear it as much. No worries, it's doing its job.
