Hello George   Can you give us more info about the electric vacuum pump you have in your car.
Exactly what it is and where to obtain, other than a chance one on E-bay.  Average cost.  And are you
satisfied with it now that you have it for a while.

Great idea John!  Geesh... my noisy vacuum pump has been a long source of (minor) grief in my s-10.  George's pump is small, quiet and if i remember pretty darn affordable (like $60 something?).

Thanks George, picked one up. I'm in the same boat as Ted, my current pump can be embarrassingly loud.

Hi Mike, It's probably also a good idea to reduce the size of the vacuum reservoir on the Porsche.  Trimming down from the *bazooka* to a football with a quieter pump will bring much happiness :-)  Kind regards, ted
