Amazing mod. Couldn't resist but try it... Well I tested the flow on the Nanostream 6025 after I used a dremel and took off all the inside tunnel off the front housing, and...

amazing results... thanks to jacmyoung that turned me on to this thread. Mr. Pink floyd, my hat off to you for even thinking about the possibility... I don't know about the long term implications of the mod but I can report on the flow results...
I took 11 measurements in GPH on the nanostream 6025:
1182.91, 1173.91, 1166.30, 1139.24, 1122.66, 1115.70, 1098.67, 1078.92, 1058.82, 1045.49, 992.64
From the above, I discarded the lowest and highest 3 readings.
The resulting five gave me an average flow of 1111.04 GPH. THAT IS AMAZING. What a mod. Thanks again Mr. Pink Floyd for even thinking about it. Tunze did say that the 6025 was designed with a restriction to produce flows of about 700GPH for people that wanted smaller flow in their tanks. They also said that the 6045 was designed to produce the higher flow. Based on my previous flow measurements comparing the 6025 to the 6045, I say the modded 6025 rocks!!! It actually blows the 6045 away, considering that under the same test the 6045 was delivering 930 GPH... WOW!!!
