Fuel pump, secondary injectors and turbo are all way too small.

why did you pick the 500-600 range? You know it's not cheap or easy, right?

Edit - Does what you have run as is?
If so, I would highly recommend leaving it like that and in the mean time, putting in, at the very least, SOME effort to research your build (if you're even serious about it.)

Well you obviously don't know what you're getting yourself into, if you did than you would not have made this thread.

It's a good hp range if you're running a V8, expect to spend a good $10k-$20k to get into the 400-500whp range, more if you want to go higher, and even more if you really want it to be reliable (any dumbass can make 500whp once, making it safely and continuously is a different story though).

There is a difference between advice and holding your hand.

In your first post you basically asked what turbo to use, what injectors to use, etc..
This information is so easy to obtain from this website that the only conclusion anyone here can make is that you have put in 0 effort looking into your options.

I know I'm sort of coming off like a dick (and maybe others as well) but seriously.. you come here asking for the most basic advice on a project that is anything but basic. How is someone supposed to take this seriously?

Do a search on how to attain your desired power level with your given car model.

Post up at least 4 threads that are related to your interests. Show that you've taken the initiative to at least TRY to learn, on your own, what route others have taken to get where you want to be (you're not the first owner to think of this) and the rest of the forum will be much more likely to lend a helping hand..
