Hi Mark - in my case the 3 jets have seemingly increased the flow or
pressure of the flow - possibly by using smaller orifices than the stock 2
jets?   I think my stock jets were just plain worn out and quite weak and
the pump is the original as far as I know.
The new setup is as good as what I have on my Audi in terms of
pressure...you can actually hear the windshield fluid hitting the
windshield.

Not sure if they are from the same vendor - but they do all look the same
so it is quite possible they are.
