They told me there is nothing they can do about it till there is an update on that fuel pump. I have been reading online about some people saying that the engine was made for the fuel back in japan and our fuel out here has to much ethenal or something which does something to the injectors making it squeal. has anyone found a solution other then waiting?

I understand not wanting to read 50-60 pages to get every detail. But id suggest at least reading through a few pages before posting.
They've released multiple "revised" fuel pumps. Your dealer, and everyone elses dealer may claim to have the fixed part. None of them do. So don't bother getting them swapped. After about 6000-7000 miles, they seem to be far less frequent. Fuel system cleaners have been working for me and some others.
The part isn't malfunctioning, its working as it should. This isn't the only car, there is other cars with noisy high pressure fuel pumps. Until a company releases a silent hpfp, there's nothing you can do. Chances are that we'll never get a silent one in these cars. My suggestion is ignore it, if it bothers you like it does me and other people. Read through, and try some of the things working for other people. Fuel system cleaner is inexpensive, I would try that first.
