Ksharp,some fuel pumps will not deadhead,meaning that they require a bypass back to the tank.

Now remember,i am talking about experience i had done myself with cars.I have never turbo'd a bike.

Most pumps that require a bypass line is due to the fact that they are massive electrical motors and they use the circulating fuel to help cool the motor of the pump.Like i said earlier,last fuel pump like this i used was rated for 1,000+hp so it generated some heat!Some of them do it simply for quieter operation.Some guys swear by using bypass systems for more consistent fuel pressure.That is probably true,but since i use mine for 5 or 6 seconds at a time under WOT,never really had a problem with that.I havent done any research on bike specific parts.Just going strictly off old drag racing experience with bbc's only.well and one sbf.

  The last blower motor i had that was gas did not have a return line.One inlet in,two outlets out(for that particular setup)and one line to sense boost.Thats it.

   Samir,i wish i could tell you everything you need to know.I would,if i could.I have never even ridden my bike yet,let alone turbo'd one!This is all talk from a car guy.You do need to pressure balance to fuel bowls,yes.I dont see any reason why using the over flow vents should not work.
   As far as the slides go,i don't know.I would have to sit down a look at a carb better to know if it was needed or not.From the sound of you talking about the alignment slot,i think you are ahead of me at this point.That sounds reasonable to me,but depending on how small the slot is,it may not provide the volume of air needed to do the job.I cant really say yay or nay on that.
  I know what you mean about getting your brain going.Ksharp is gonna be responsible for alot of money spent around here!!
