Running it to the top fitting can cause fluid foaming, which is why they return the fluid to the bottom of the reservoir.

Wow, thanks for the heads up! I capped the bottom port and couldn't find much info on how to plumb the dual return pump. Should be a bit of a challenge to make the turn around the frame without hitting the pulley! Would like to convert to hydroboost eventually though.

I have some family stopping by to help put the front clip on tonight. Guess I'll have to fix it the hard way this weekend with the inner fender in the way.
