Message I'm not sure how far into things you are wanting to get, but considering you'll have the engine out:

-Knock Sensor (requires a lower plenum pull so you'll want to get some new gaskets as well)
-Injector Insulators and O-rings (could just replace them when you do your injector swap)
-Double check for oil leaks on valve covers
-Make sure all cooling and oil lines are not clogged
-Thermostat/Water pump (would be included in a 120k maint. kit I believe)
-If you can't afford an aluminum lower rad pipe, check into a stock one.
-Larger Intercoolers to cool off the higher heat output of upgraded turbos. This will help lengthen the life of your engine.
-Turbo Air Inlet hoses. These will be the only IC hoses you won't be able to replace easily once the motor is in the car.
-If you buy Noltec motor mounts, put aluminum duct tape on them to prevent heat exposure.

A lot of these suggestions are not necessary but rather cheap insurance.

Hope this helps!
