Michael,
Without getting into an argument, your setup is unsafe.
Bosch fuel pumps, which is what a VL turbo pump is, when new pump fuel at a pressure of 100Psi, I may be off on the pressure, but not by much.
If you have the surge tank on the pressure side of the pump, yes it will work, but every outlet on the tank will be at the same pressure, including the over flow line back to your main tank and any filters you have. You can do it this way if you want, but ensure you use EFI hose and clamps as regular ones will not handle the pressure.
If your uncle is an experienced drag racer as you say, get him to have a look at the setup in your car, and look at ways you could make it safer.
Fuel spraying around at high pressure is dangerous....
