The fuel pump will help maintain pressure to the injectors at WOT better than the stocker will, especially with the turbo upgrade.
While you have the turbo off, I would put Viton o-rings in the turbo pedestal. It may not be leaking now, but it will (just like mine are now). Guzzle has every o-ring you could ever need here: Replacement O-rings for Diesel Engines

What is most important is fuel volume. (Think Holley double pumper) They had dual fuel bowls for a reason, those high HP gas engines they were feeding would inhale fuel very quickly.
So you need to do something like the Walbro pump. You have to be able to keep up with fuel demand.
.
Let me just say this. After modding the fuel supply for my truck it has all the fuel that it can use and then some.
I cannot tow my 13.5k 5th wheel in ANY tune other than stock and I have a 4" downpipe, 5" exhaust, AIS air filter and stock injectors.
The EGT get's too high on a hard pull and the boost goes up over 25 psi just using the tow/haul tune. There is nothing wrong with the truck it is working as designed, no boost leaks, exhaust leaks to kill drive pressure, nada. It simply has PLENTY of fuel volume to keep up with demand!
