walbro will be fine with std injectors, have read on here that they can overpower the std regulator a bit.

Fuel pumps do tend to make a noise though when the igntion is turned on whilst they prime up so there may be nothing wrong

My old pump was getting tired so I put a Walbro 255 l/ph pump on. My car is now running seriously rich so need to get it mapped asap. That is my own experience but others have had no problem.

Cheers

Pick a walbro up for around £80 if you shop around.
