I made venturi tonight and it blows the stock one out of the water.....lower flow rate an twice the bubbles. After 4 days the old one was barely building up any foam.....about 15 minutes after I put this venturi on the foam was almost t the top of the riser tube...awesome!

I took a 1" piece of 1" PVC and placed a piece of 1/8" acrylic on top of it. After a few seconds of blasting it with a heat gun I took the chuck end of a 1/2" drill bit and stretched the acrylic the length of the PVC. I then tapped it and threaded my air stem in and glued another 3/4" piece of PVC on the other side of the acrylic. To finish i just cut my chunk of 3/4" PVC to the ricght length, shaved it down a bit and glued it on......bam, an easy, and effective venturi!
