Pump Res (Pics)
 
Decided to make a little pump res. Both so that any small bits of air left in my system after a fill don't go around and to reduce restriction at the inlet.

Just need to drill and tap an inlet barb hole, and silicon the joins (Though they are pretty tight as it is)

Looks great pippin, is there a performance increase even if you're using tubes sized correctly to your pump by doing this?

As I understand it, it will not be huge, but it will be better having the inlet in free water rather than tubing.

A procooling article (which actually uses two versions of one of my systems from years ago) is the best explaination I've seen. On page two it describes issues of cavitation etc.
