Well, the return fitting in the pump assembly is the same size as the line, .80 by my measurements, so not sure what they mean, unless the elbow is a restriction in itself. I still don't think so, and believe it will work. And yes, there is that much of a differential, hence why I suggest using a 1/2 return line.

$800 sounds about right, think that's about what I spent on the project. You can do it for less, but not by too much, some items like the tank and pump don't vary that much. But just like building an engine, speed costs, and some areas you can't cut corners. (or you pay in the long run)
