What gaskets to replace?

I will be swapping my old stock turbo for a new one very shortly. What gaskets should I be replacing?

I wasn't planning on pulling the manifold, so I was thinking pretty much to replace the gaskets on both ends of the turbo. What are the two oil drain gaskets and the four copper crush o-rings for?

normally i leave the oil drain on the turbo so only one oil drain gasket is really necessary, there is also a coolant supply tube gasket that you will need where it bolts to the LIM. the crush washers usually are reusable as are the exhaust manifold and DP gaskets but that all depends on their condition upon removal.
