well I don't know what you did different then me, but I spent half the day and I could only get to 30, here is what I have done........

bored out the 90 and smoothed out the transitions and cut the washer for the 90

trimmed the output volute down

cut first row of pins off

4 layers of mesh

tired 3 venturis (the one you made did not work well on mine)

saned more of the volute on the intake side

here are my pics............

this is my venturi, its just a schedule 40 3/4 pipe with the insides sanded down with ridged tubing. I held it in by one wrap of electrical tape










It shows 28, but it has settled to 30 now
