Heres the thing. I live in Stafford, but Im currently In Laurel Maryland. I have a 50 trim, HKS 272 cams, 660cc injectors and Walboro 255 HP Fuel pump, with no AFPR. Complete setup can be viewed in my profile. I bought the car with these mods. My GST has 60k original miles. My fuel pump whine has always been loud but today it got to the point where it was unbearably loud whine and hissing noises. I removed the backseats to diagnose the problem, and the noise is coming from the tank (fuel pump). The idle got a bit choppier than usual and the "service engine soon" light came on. I didnt get a chance to pull the code, as i was getting ready to pull out the fuel pump, so I disconnected the battery, how stupid of me..i should have known that it would reset the ecu and erase the code. So I decided to just call it a night.

I have been out of the DSM scene for 2 years. I recently picked this car up, 2 years after I sold my 98GSX. Last time I replaced a Fuel Pump was in 2005 with the help of my friends. If anyone in the Maryland area wants to take a look and if or possibly help me replace my fuel pump, Ill be willing to pay $$$. Trust me $$$ isnt the issue, its just these mechanics here I dont trust. I rather have someone who knows DSM's help me do it. At this point, if the fuel pump is bad, Im going to replace it with a Walboro 190. I do not feeling buying an AFPR right now. My Cell # is 7034774922. Even if multiple people want to come help, thats great. This is my Daily Driver.
 
As people said in your other thread, the Walboro's tend to whine - A LOT. Mine will go in spurts of very loud and not so loud. Here's a thread about them whining:

Even though you haven't touched a DSM in a little while, you can replace your own fuel pump. I have never done it before :)0) and did it for the first time this weekend for a friend. It was very easy and took about 10 minutes, which included going inside to read the VFAQ. I'd say to read through that and then if you have any problems, either post back or find someone to help.

The only thing in there you shouldn't have to worry about is snipping the body to remove the pump housing. But make sure to use flare wrenches on the fuel line or you might round them.
