Hi guys,

I'm doing a complete drive train refresh/replace.

Pulled the entire engine/trans out and this is what I'm currently doing.

- HG/valve stem seals 
- Oil pan seals
- All timing belt/water pump/associated gaskets
- Replace lifters when needed
- Na cams
- NA Tb
- 960 maf
- snabb 3" intake pipe and fitting to larger maf
- 18t turbo with r mani and angled flange
- All silicone intake, coolant, heater hoses, turbo hoses
- Replace mounts as needed
- Oil cooler lines look to be in good shape and possibly replaced previously
- overflow tank 
- rms
- snabb trans bushings 
- manual throttle cable
- r clutch
-SMF
- master and slave in newer condition 

Anything else you guys think of that I should do while I'm in there?

Thanks!

If you don’t already have a set, Kaplhenke Delrin subframe bushings are absolutely worth the money and make a huge improvement in handling and ride quality. Should be super easy since the engine’s already out. 
 

Grab the updated oil pan pickup tube - there’s a couple photos in my build. It has a larger screen that should reduce the restriction on the pickup. You most likely won’t ever notice a difference, but it’s a better design and should help things hold up better in the long run.

Thanks for the info. Already sealed the oil pan back up so unfortunately the pickup tube is staying stock. 

I was going to put in delrin bushings but already have metal c70 bushings so I gave the delrin to a friend that is helping with the project as thanks.

Don't see a bigger intercooler on your list.  Make sure you get the 3" TB hose too for the N/A TB.

Thanks. Already have the 3" silicone pipe for Na tb. 

Thought about upgrade IC but that will be a future upgrade. I can do that later on without much trouble.
