Two questions if I may, one, does the coupler have to end up where the nozzles are perpendicular to the outlet on the pump top? I'd really like them to be parallel and on the same side. Two, do you know of another shop that carries this stuff ? (Sure wish sidewinder did).

I have the pump and waterblock apart. Didn't see anything terrible on disassembly. There is what looks like light brown gunk on the top side of the impeller, very hard to get to. Also, the waterblock copper fins appear to be warped or bent at the return. Which brings up another question, did I pair the wrong waterblock with this pump ? The Apogee XT is said to be a very restrictive block (sure has one tiny opening for the inlet). This was (is) my fisrt loop and I have to admit, besides the noise it didn't really perform up to my expectations. I would obviously like to do this as inexpensive as possible, but I'm going for super-quiet with great performance if that's possible. :-)
Not sure I correctly understand the first question. The 4 plugs on the front and the one on the top are the only places fittings will fit. Either plug on the ring can be use for an inlet (or both if you'd like). The 2 on the pump top itself, the left one is pump outlet and the right one is pump inlet if you have a requirement for a really low profile pump and don't use the res. It kind of hurts pump performance using that inlet so I don't really recommend it's use to most ppl. The top plug is mostly used for filling the res but there have been ppl that have used that location as a inlet.

The only other place I know that carries all of it is Koolance themselves.

The 200mm tube is actually almost twice as much as what P-PCs is charging for it. I think that may be because they (P-PCs) appear to be clearing out the 60mm diameter stuff in favor of the newer 80mm diameter. I personally don't understand the reasoning behind the 80mm stuff because it's a lot bigger than the pump top and won't let you mount the pump with the bracket.
