Jet needs some distance from the base-plate to work properly, otherwise the flow doesn't gets all mashed because you're trying to force too much flow without enough of an "outlet". How close was your barb to the base?

I would not recommend getting closer than 4mm for most any setup/nozzle configuration, and depending on how large your nozzle is, you may see better results being a little further away (say up to 8mm).

I'm no expert on this, but from everything I've read the distance of the nozzle from the base-plate can have a dramatic effect, and it's not simply a case of closer is better.
