So my exhaust manfold has a few large cracks, so I'm fixing it with a 2g, and putting on a 2g o2 housing as well. Here's everything that I'm getting in the process to replace...

head to manifold gasket
2g ported manifold
2g ported o2 housing
4 new turbo bolts
new o2 sensor (mine is giving me a CEL and not cycling at idle)
Copper RTV for manifold to turbo, and o2 housing

Is there anything I'm forgetting? I'm hoping I don't break any of the studs for the exhaust manifold or the o2 housing bolts. I'll be sure to use tons of pb blaster on them for about a week before I do it. Do I need to get new gaskets or anything for the turbo lines? I'm planning on porting my turbine housing while I have it out as well, and drilling and tapping my manifold for my EGT gauge. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance guys.
 
as long as you keep the water lines on the turbo you wont need new gaskets. Warm the car up and then break the bolts on the exhaust mani and o2 housing (they expand when hot so it will come loose easier)
when you put the new one on put some anti-seize on the bolts so they come out easier next time.
Check bolts and nuts in one week after moderately light driving and retighten any that back out a little.

Torqe bolts to spec!!!
