6.0 powerstroke upgrades.
So, I'll start off saying that I bought this 2006 F350 drw 6.0 psd with 108,000 on it from a dealership that bought it from a auction and brought it back for resale. So there's no way I could know the person who owned this truck before me. So I came to find out myself while doing injector seals and a Egr delete, that the freaking thing already had a Egr delete, and a cat delete, and also a afe air intake. I bought a sct x4 with the tow setting at 65hp to keep head pressure down. But what I was just delighted to find out is that it is also already studded. So this makes me wonder what else is done to the truck, and what my next step should be on this truck. I just did the blue spring upgrade, I'm about to to do 6.4 banjo bolts, and I'm thinking either a Coolant filter or gauges next. Y'all tell me what y'all think. (BTW, I am just some High School Senior that welds on the weekends and does other odds and ends throughout the week, so the money that I do have takes time to build up. So preferably cheaper mods first.)

Welcome to the forum, you should be spending more time in the 6.0 Powerstroke section and also repost this thread there.
Read up on the 6.4 Banjo bolts, I have heard its not worth the money or time, and so do many other 6oh owners.
Get rid of that AFE air filter and go back to the stock air filter. It has the BEST air filtration that is available and is good up to 500 hp. Keeps the crude from entering the turbo.
Gauges? I would invest in the Torque PRO app ($4.95) and setup it up on a tablet. Then I would buy a fuel pressure gauge setup and possibly an EGT gauge setup.
I currently have the Torque PRO on a 7" Kindle Fire, and a MaxTow 100psi fuel pressure gauge.
Coolant filter is a great idea. Also going through and changing ALL the fluids would be a plus, that way you start your maintenance schedule.
Lots to learn and read up on in the 6.0 forum.
Hope to see you over there in the 6.0 part of this site.
