Is it an innernal pump?

Probably reverberating on something? Cant think what else it could be if you've replaced it, unless you've been unbelievably unlucky and put a pump in with the exact same fault. Odds on that are pretty high though lol

if i drive the car low revs its ok but as soon as i hit 5 6 thou it starts and then it carrys on in the low revs then until i turn the car off for a few seconds then its quiet again until i accelerate again also the reason i changed the pump was because when driving home it would only let me rev to 5k then further i got the lower the revs got if on the spot and rev it it reved all the way but as soon as i started to drive would rev to just over 100 revs lose power and die unless i eased off accelerater

SPi pump would make the engine run **** more than make the pump make funny noises.
