how much gas could a pump pump if a pump could pump gas?

I know for a fact that the CIS pumps can support more than that. It doesn't
matter whether the pump is from a Scirocco, Rabbit, Jetta, etc. CIS is the
determining factor.

Nope.

How is it that your car can run rich on small injectors but then lean on big
ones? Josh, definitely I'm not telling you that you've got your facts wrong.
However, I am very suspicious of your tuner or whomever made that chip. None
of this adds up. -not even a little bit.

Can  you check to see if your fuel rail pressure remains consistent? If it
does (as I suspect it will) then your problem is most likely a poorly mapped
chip or faulty injectors. How about exhaust gas temperature? What is it
throughout the rev range? An EGT gauge is critical for proper tuning and for
monitoring your engine's health! The point here is that I wouldn't start
replacing expensive parts unless the need for them is substantiated rather
than assumed.
