[QUOTE="cidsamuth, post: 16575074, member: 110091"] My opinion on this, without real world, scientific data, is that more pump is better if you can avoid the cavitation issues mentioned. DOB points to the VW Bugatti, which has a crazy huge pump moving crazy amounts of fluid. In my experience, running the bypass avoids the issues. I have the DOB SS also (along with the complete DOB IC), and I have the 13/14 pump. With my current plumbing, including a "straight line bypass" and a smaller hose going "up" to the degas bottle, I barely see movement in the bottle; instead most of the flow goes through the bypass. Seems to me to be a perfect scenario - the fluid mostly takes the path of least resistance, i.e. avoids the smaller hose and the fight against gravity to get to the degas and thus avoids creating bubbles. Once it is released, I will go with the DOB POWA, which will likely double the flow. I would think I might see more movement in the degas then, but I theorize the fluid will still mostly go around. Then, I'll have all the benefits of faster flow and none of the theoretical problems of bubbling. Theoretically, of course :) [/QUOTE]
