Figured I would post this as a separate question..

Here's what I'm planning on installing during my EM/Turbo swap.  Tom
Mulane mentioned I should replace the engine mount (do they fail as badly
as on the 10vt cars turbo side mount?).  What else that isn't directly
related to the swap?

On the list:
-all gaskets related to EM/Turbo/DP/etc
-EM Studs (I think I'm going to re-use some of the old ones.. I have a
feeling they are pricey new from the dealer)
-washers/nuts:  I'm contemplating using these nice stainless steel
locknuts as opposed to the copper ones (NOT nylocks.. they have a turned
down edge).  Any reason why not to that I might not think of?  I _think_
they can take the heat (they work GREAT to replace those $$ 17mm DP
nuts... BTDT on my 4ktq)
-Samco hoses (BTW, where can I find a list of the host clamp sizes I will
need?  I want to try some of those constant torque deals everyone talks
about..)
-Fuel Injectors (42# racetronix.. won't install until Mihnea tune day)
-Engine mount
-Coolant (duh).  I use the blue stuff from the dealer in my 4ktq.. same
stuff for this car?
-custom oil/coolant lines for turbo


I must be missing something...?  My wallet hopes not.
