You will need to measure a lot of stuff, but you will probably want to go ahead and at least replace the apex seals. You may need to replace the side seals or the coolant or oil seals, or other such small things. I'm kinda drunk so someone will hopefully come along and better expain these things to you.

there is a nice kit that advanced auto sells that sells all the "soft" parts you need.

Consider the atkins seals, (don't go carbon, since you are going boosted)
new side, corner seals, and springs are a must,

I always replace the rotor and journal bearings as well, although may not be required.

you'll need torque settings for bolts and I would recommend a manual for than if its made out of metal and isn't corroded then I'd say re-use it that is if its in decent shape.
