Keep the stock turbo for now. Wont need to upgrade that till you have quite a bit of fueling.

I would start looking into pump work. Atleast back out the fuel pin.

An adjustable boost elbow is only 20 bucks or so and that will get you a little more air flow.

Then maybe injectors or trans upgrades followed by turbo.

Its an endless slippery slope! Welcome on the ride.

my sig has everything done to my truck. the dyno was when it had 40hp bosch injectors in it. i now have marine 370's in it so its a little above that. these injectors seem to be pretty smokey. from my reasearch it looks like DDP's are rated very good on this site. havent seen to many complaints about those.

i, personally, would leave the Delivery Valves to someone else but the rest isnt too bad to do. once you start adding power your tranny isnt going to like you for very long so make sure you look into that.
