well since you have a 7.3 there is no valve cover gasket the ucv harness is the gasket in most cases they are all one package and no most of those prices dont seem good, most of the repairs you have listed can be done with simple hand tools, and ive never actually seen the mr bobs kit before

here is the UCV
DORMAN Valve Cover Gasket Kit 615-201

Can I ask what was happening with your truck with the need for the repairs? To Me it sounds like the down pipes, most of us call them up pipes, do not replace them unless they are replaced with bellowed up pipes. Riffraff diesel has heavy duty cac hoses very reasonable ( at half the price) Uvc connectors usually come with the fel-pro aftermarket uvc gasket. look them up on line at the nationwide chain parts stores. Injector is high, Got my NEW STOCK ALLIANT injectors Not rebuilt for approx 220 per injector from Clay at RiffRaff. Not sure on adapter behind turbo aka exhaust back pressure valve, or the wastegate actuator. It will help if you post this on the 7.3 forum. Oh and the addative seems high unless there is a fairy good quantity.

I am guessing by down tubes they mean up-pipes. I would strongly suggest upgrading to international bellowed up-pipes so you don't have to replace them again in a year. We also use Motorcraft and strongly suggest saying away from Chinese import junk for reliability. I have put links and pricing next to these to show you the differences. Give us a call if you have any questions and we can walk you through everything on this job and make sure it is needed.

I want to install a chip and from what I have read, it's best to ensure that all is well with the engine before doing so. I also get a high pitched whistle at times when I'm towing. I brought it in to get a diagnostic check just to be sure. These were all recommended to me. Aside from this, the truck runs well.....I just wanted to be sure.
