your signiture says stock injectors. I'd say a set of mild injectors would be you next step

Injectors won't do much without a programmer. So I'd get a intake,raptor 100 lift pump, and an edge juice w/attitude. Probably run about $1400 bucks but you'll have a good running truck and all your guages.

Your sig says Holley Fuel Pump AND stock lift pump? Im assuming that the Holley IS your lift pump....

I will warn you. Holley does NOT approve their fuel pumps (black, blue etc) for diesel fuel. Your warranty is void if you have one and use it on diesel. I called Holley at one point looking for a diesel pump... They stated they have nothing compatible. I went through 2 Holley Black series pumps before I got an Airdog system. The last time it failed while i was pulling a truck home 150 miles from my house. Thank god it didnt take my injection pump.
You need a good fuel delivery system to not cost you 2k$ or more down the road... At least get a gauge while your using the Holley to give you warning of failure. Also i dont know how well that pump can feed big injectors on an aggressive tune either.
What kind of upgraded turbo?
