This particular design is very sensitive to a number of things. At your stage, you'd want to try different spacings between "cups", within the baseplate, assuming that you've already tried various depths for the cups. Yeah, it means starting over, again and again... Otherwise I'd point out that your jet tubes are too thick.

Nifty idea with the screws though...
The cup ID is 3mm following Stews philosophy of lots of return path room. They are spaced 3.5mm on center. I tried 2mm ID cups on 2.5mm centers with the same result. I've tried different insertion depths for the pipes, but kept the cup depth as needed to provide 1mm of copper between the bottom of the cup and the face of the plate.

I will be ordering a G5 when the next batch is available. I'll sure feel silly if it also yields 22C differential as I expect it to exceed MCW6002-64 performance for 2.5x the price.
