Engine rebuild-Anything else?

One of my apex seals went after 45000kms and scratched one of the rotor housings in two places. I am having the engine completely rebuilt with the following. Am i missing any mods while it is apart?
All new seals, 3mm apex seals, extend ported, exhaust ported, balanced, 4 extra dowels, rotors machined. As well as new 3" twin exhaust from my high flow cat (racing beat down pipe and cat). Haltech ECU. Lightened fly wheel.
The turbo is already high flowed. Once the engine is run, I will be looking to run around 275hp at the rear wheels.

Get the atkins rotary oil thermo plug that goes in the front of the e-shaft. It will let oil flow to the rotors constantly, instead of waiting for the oil to heat up. mazdatrix has them, but they buy them from atkins rotary. It will be cheaper (by a couple of dollars) if you buy them from atkins yourself.
