My only question would be - has the water pump got the additional capacity for the extra kPa imposed? I'd also like to see better guide vanes or flow channeling on the inlet.
Don’t know this products quality or how it was engineered, but I think that what you are suggesting might be counter productive as it seems more desirable for the water to circulate in the cooler for a longer period to allow for maximum heat dispersion as opposed to flowing the quickest way through it.
What Im suggesting is to minimise the additional kPa across the water pump. If the pump cannot help the flow overcome the hurdle, then there may be other issues. Better flow properties will not adversely affect the heat transfer for a specific flow rate. We are not talking about pipettes and laminar flow here. The impellers of the water pumps on ducati's are hardly known for their robustness. On the other hand it may be fine.
