Exactly, so IMO, not worth the extra price they want for the flowkooler
water pump. The stock pump already flows enough and is designed to work
with the stock cooling system.

Same idea as a larger intake or exhaust on a stock engine (both is of
course a different story). Fluid only flows as fast or works as well
as the most restrictive point in the system. There may be slight
gains, but it's minimal at best with out upgrading flow of the whole
system.
