I will upgrading my turbo soon and was wondering what other parts that I can upgrade while I have the turbo off. I did a search for this but I couldn't find any. Anything that can be upgraded while doing a new turbo job is what I am looking to do. Suggestions?

If it were me, I would take off the headers and have em coated. Make sure the driverside header isn't cracked. Get a gasket for the turbo, and make sure the turbo exhaust housing inlet is bigger than the header/gasket. In other words, when the exhaust is coming out of the header to go into the turbo, make sure it doesn't hit a wall to get in the exhaust housing. You could also coat the exhaust housing. Keeping the heat in the system is the key.
 
Make up some studs to replace the bolts for the oil return line on your turbo. Makes installing the turbo much easier.
 
Just some stuff to think about. :)

Oil breather bypass.
Braided oil feed and return lines
Chrome or polished turbo shield
Check and clean ground to turbo bracket
New headers or weld the pass. side if needed
Heavy duty or new wastegate setup
New turbo lines
New hoses
