Looks like you've got a lot of nice parts for a N/A build, which certainly won't hurt anything in a turbo application but are just a bit overkill.
I recently got my turbo 5.3 C10 on the road and am having a blast with it at only 10lbs of boost. I too went with the Holley EFI, mainly since it had nearly every feature I needed or could anticipate and was at a fair price IMO. 4L80E control, DBW, boost control, etc. You'll love it and enjoy the ease of tuning....I know I do after messing with HpTuners for a couple of years.
Anyway, the biggest surprise cost to me was the fuel system. Since I'm running E85 exclusively, I ended up with over $1500 in plumbing, pump, injectors, regulator, etc. Turns out the turbo and the engine/trans were the cheap parts of the build!

Thanks and yeah I can imagine that's gonna be expensive the only thing I have for the fuel system is a 20 gallon fuel cell my plan was to run the holley dominator fuel pump with braided hose all the way to the front just need to figure out wat sizes so I can start ordering fittings for both lines

Yeah I believe the fuel cell has -10 an fittings or -12 not sure but yeah want to leave the fuel system ready incase we need to step it up a notch would like to make around 7-800 but hopefully it'll make its way closer to 1k
