Default Whats the best order for buying these mods?

Now, im pretty new to diesel, that is for sure. Ive owned one before, never modified. Ive had mine 4 months and im looking to get just a bit more power out of it, for towing. Ill list what I believe is what I need ( feel free to correct it ) to achieve better mileage and more towing power. Im not racing this thing. I dont have a ton of money so ill be buying one at a time. Whats the best order.

Ill start with a 150 series lift pump

1) Quadzilla Adrenaline
2) Injectors ( what size )
3) Turbo ( necessary with injectors or no? )
4) Air Intake
5) Exhaust
6) Intake Mainfold


What ya guys think?

Get the exhaust first, trans upgrades are a must! Torque converter valve body for auto anclutch for manual, the get the adrenaline (does the boost fooling for the injectors and turbo) then probably injectors/ turbo at around the same time, depending on what you are going to be found with the truck makes a difference to the inj. Turbo combo. The intake manifold isn't really needed just looks pretty

Then just a clutch will do you, the stocker will last a little while but will fail.

1) Quadzilla Adrenaline, I really like my EJWA CTS. I say this #1 as you can monitor engine parameters with it.
2) Air Intake, the beast needs to breath!
3) Exhaust, air out is just as important as air in.
4) Injectors, depending on your goal anywhere from 65HP - 150HP
5) Turbo, necessary depending on the size of injectors. 65's, stock will hold. 150HP, things will get hot if you don't add more air.
6)Intake Manifold, more for looks then function compared to a 3rd Gen.
