Got a subie ej22 installed. Runs great especially after I cleaned the ECU & MAF. Im having issues with a noisy fuel pump. I lose power on hills. I should also mention I have a leaky fuel tank. I plan on replacing both. Any recommendations on brand of tank/pump I should purchase?

The pump is probably fine. From my experience, rust flakes from an old gas tank will clog the intake of your fuel pump. Once you clean the rust out the strainer, it should function normally. No question, you need to replace that fuel tank.
