The other posible reason for the big difference in apparent flow rate is injector response time.   When running at low manifold pressure, a small difference can make a big difference.  Most injectors take about 1 millisecond to open.  At idle, the injector on time is only about 1.4 ms.  A difference of only .1  ms  would look like a 25% difference in flow rate even if the injectors were perfectly matched at 100% duty cycle.
 
Another reason to use same brand of injectors in all the holes!

Good point (dang it).  I was thinking of how I could get the Mazda injectors in the TWM throttle body.  I looked at them before and noticed that there's a big difference in the diameter of the ends, so I just dismissed the idea.  Now I'm wondering if there's a chance they will work with an adapter, perhaps even the standard sleeve that Mazda uses on the primaries.  I don't suppose all injector holes are a standard size?  That would be too easy.  Of course, now I have to wait until about the end of next week to get my injectors back to do some measuring.  
 
Cheers,
Rusty
