Crafty Clay....
Well, with the issues I've been having with my truck, I made a phonecall to (who I now believe has all the answers) Clay at Riffraff. I told him of my truck woes:
-Leaking EBPV rod
-Fuel pressure issue (too much 95psi)
-What I thought was bad fuel (dealer took $312 to tell me it wasn't)
We talked about trucks, things I could do to get more out of it, and things I could get to prevent potential issues:
-Blank Turbo Pedestal (solves the leak permanently)
-Garrett High Flow Non-EBPV outlet (better spool, less restriction, lower EGTs)
-Upgrade to the Gen 2 RR Fuel Crossover (better control over pressure)
-Mechanic's O-ring Kit for 7.3 (replace all o-rings minus injectors, no more leaks or potential leaks)
-Terminator T500 to address my potential pump issue (been wanting one too)
-HPOP Gasket
-AFE Restore kit
After a good long talk, we hung up and I went back to work not thinking; this was at 11:00 am...
3:00 pm- I'm placing and order with Clay for the above and thinking to myself: "That Crafty ******* sure knows how to sell!" LOL!
Parts should be in friday, and my truck should be solid by weeks end thereafter...
My suggestion to you all: if you're having truck woes and/or need/want more out of it, Call Clay!

Update
Well boys, my new toys arrived a few days ago and I've been so busy burning the midnight that I forgot to update...
I'm at the half way mark as it stands now, the top end of my motor is turboless, without a fuel bowl, HPOP, and all the other parts that entail.
Tonight, I'm rebuilding the fuel bowl with new o-rings, getting things put back together, and hoping I'll be able to fire my truck up tonight!!!
