The XP uses 1/4" barbs, the HP pro only 1/8" ones :o - because it has the jets integrated in the same sheet of Plexiglas.
It would already make a nice flow improvement, if you copy the channels of the middle plate on the other side of the topplate.
the onliest thing then is to get good highflow/moderateflow 1/4" barbs.
I produced this ones especially for watercooling issues, but i have to regret that they can beused effectively for 1/2" tubing ( in fact i never tested  ). They are ideal for 10-11mm id, thats pretty much for G1/4", i think. I made them more for looks and for practicability, thats why it has the hexagon socket inside, very small od and many barbs (or flukes?) to make sure that the tubing sits safe on it.
The winding is about the half as short as of the standard barbs, so there is eneugh place to modifie the nexxosXP top from the bottom side for more flow on the jet chamber.

I'm abit torn now, since I'm worried about nickel chips blocking the channels, and I dont know anyone that can help me sandblast the middle and top plate
Guess I'll have to grind it away with fine sandpaper or something!
Those barbs looks great! I've tried to find barbs like that, but I've had bad luck... I now have the barbs from my old maze 2 block on it, but they will only go in like 3-4 turns since there wider at the top!
