Adding the second outlet and simply combining their output with a Y adaptor yeilds excellent results;

I have measured static head as well as just raw flow rate, should make the results a little more relavant.

un-modifed pump static head; 155cm (60.5'') (rated at 200cm)
modified pump static head single outlet; 198cm (77.2'')
modified pump static head dual combined outlet; 210cm (81.9'')

raw open flowrate is ~1100L/H, which from memory is slightly down on what the pump could do in stock condition, but that doesn't matter seeing as we now have more static head to play with now.

I also blocked the center inlet to see if it would pump this way (turning one of the outlets into an inlet) it does actually pump, but not with a lot of flow, or pressure,I didn't bother measuring it.
