What exactly has been done to the pump for it's rebuild.  Was it run on a test machine?
What are the indicators for the problem, whats it doing.  What rpm etc...
What do you have the fuel screw, idle set at etc.

ask the guy that sold it to me.  when i got it back the first time i am assuming that it was set to factory spec by the rebuilder.  everything is set to stock.  when i had it on the car and timed we ran it and it hung whenever it was revved.  it would not return back to idle immediately like it should.  that is the only problem and i believe it is because of the age and the pump setting when i was not told this to begin with.  all i was told when i wanted to know the history of the pump was that it came from a running car and that is pretty vague and misleading if you ask me.

No, I asked you, because I was trying to help you.  I don't give a damn about your pissing contest.
So in the intrest of trying to help diagnose the problem, it would be helpful to know what your builder has done to the pump.  Were any hard parts replaced?  What was worn? Did he discover any internal damage?  Did he run the pump on a test machine after he performed his work?  etc, etc , etc.... If you do not have this information then ask.  It will help you diagnose the problem.
Now for the pump on the car.  Where does it hang?  Coming off redline, 2000rpm, or is it everytime you blip the throttle ?.
I think you will find that if you post a detailed discription in the trouble shooting section you will get some very good help from members who have a large clue bag on pumps.  If you are going to go around in circles you are just wasting your time.
Decide what you want this post to be.

This may offer some insite into your problem.

the rpm hanging could be just that the fuel is set up too high.  take any pump and then increase the fueling enough and it will hang.  maybe the pump builder doesn't know the vw pump specs to set it to factory???

Not to sound stupid but every now and then the return springs on top of my IP get gunky and it hangs for a bit, sometimes the rpm will stay high till I blip the go pedal. The first time was within a 1000 miles after it was rebuilt.

Have you checked your injectors?

Ok so dieselrules is shady.

My question is..

If the pump you got from him looked like it was stored with the Titanic why didnt you just have your original (and leaking) pump rebuilt and send the rusty one back and get your money from Paypal?

FWIW my local Bosch pump dealer wanted 325 to rebuild mine 3 years ago. I instead opted to have Giles rebuild mine because I wanted it RIGHT. Now Im sure the local guys would do fine...for stock..but I didnt want stock. So I saved my pennies and had it DONE with no questions or worries.

and the fact that a dry pump sitting on a shelf for even a few months will have corrosion...  maybe if the pump was stored with some care (some fluid inside like atf, and all orifices sealed properly) it won't be so bad... the inside starts to get pitted.

the injectors are another story, i can deal with them after i get my pump back.  my leaking pump was a dumb non turbo pump with the anoroid that took fuel away so i didnt want to use that one.  i had no choice.  if i could take back what i did then i would
