I don't think that the sweeping elbow will help. The problem is that the diameter of the inlet is small and restrictive, and happens to be at a critical point in the loop.
If you could do a pHaestus style mod to your pump, you'd be set: attach a PVC bushing to the pump housing, where the inlet is of a diameter that you can use.

So If I could stick a much larger Inlet Elbow on(I believe you want to drop pressure or water velocity or something?) would that be better? As default, the pump (EHIEM 1048) comes with 1/2" barbs on both inlet and outlet, but the thread on the Inlet is much large.
Another alternative I have would be to build a little sealed res to sit straight on the pump inlet, which might help a bit?
