Make sure your servo is centered and your servo horn is centered as close and possible. Then adjust your turnbuckles as needed. If you got the whole setup, make sure you have them where they need to be and don't have the longer ones on their

I did it how John said and haven't had any issues

High flow kit is bullshit regardless of the motor.

I like the way it comes out the tank, looks tidy. Only cheap as I went for the ATOP instead of the more expensive one.

Yeah that's the same reason I bought the high flow kit, looks like ?
