Getting ready to do my seals on the oil filter housing unit

Just as the title suggests... next weekend I'm going to change the oil filter housing seals.. I'm also going to be replacing the oil and coolant lines for the turbo I purchased from Detroit tuned and my radiator since it's been leaking. Is there anything else I should be replacing while I'm in service mode.. things that may break when performing these tasks, etc......??

Great time to do an oil cooler if you're interested in one.

Not really, when i did mine i changed the oil and flushed the coolant since (so thats a couple things there) i was there and did those outer and inner seals. The lines also. I pulled the downpipe off so new gasket and hardware. I had a stud stick on the DP connection so that was changed. I also replaced the main clamp at the DP/ exhaust connection.

I also changed out the aux water pump on the front as a precaution as at that time they were having fire issues and updated the unit on my R56.
