Joining the R&R list
I just started the process of removing my engine and turbos and will be installing a streetported reman and stage 2 BNR's along with a lightweight flywheel, PFC, and silicone hoses. I've been searching and found a lot of helpful tips and some write-ups, but just to be safe, are there any parts I should replace while I have it out. And I thought a saw a write-up with some good pictures a before but can't find it now, so if anyone has some they could share I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

My car has 98k on it so they probably do then, should I go ahead and get 1300cc secondaries or just keep them stock for now, beause I want to take my time and do it right, but the more money I have to spend, the longer it's going to take me

once you go to larger injectors, you need some sort of stand alone ECU. The PFC for example. but then you also should get a better fuel pump. then you have to get the car tuned, the list goes on.......you get the picture.
if you are only going to run 10 psi and are happy with it, then you have no need for larger injectors. You could send them out to be cleaned and be done with it.
However, if you plan on modding your car in the not so distant future, and you can afford to drop some cash now, you could go with the things mentioned above, plus the usual mods and have a VERY fun car that is capable of beating cars costing 10x as much.
I vote for scenario 2, but it's not my money
EDIT: oops, i just re-read your original post. You are already half way there!

Well, I've gotten pretty close to pulling the engine out of the car, and I've also decided to get some more parts. I'm going to go ahead and upgrade my secondary injectors and fuel pump, get a downpipe, pulsation damper, all coolant hoses, upgraded clutch, and of course I've got to pick up some gauges. I know I'm getting a boost and water temp, and probably a fuel pressure soon after. The cost is definatley going up. I was originally planning on about 6K, but now it's up to around 8K and growing. My problem is I really need to get it tuned with all the mods I plan on istalling. I haven't looked into that too much because my mod list has grown since the start of my project. If there's anyone close by that could help me that would really be helpful. Other than that I'm gonna start checking out the PFC forum.

I know someone has some info. Also, does the pettit dp have the O2 sensor bung, or would I have to drill my own, I've searched unsuccessfully. Thanks for any help

don't race, don't need to
pettit DP has the bung. My stock O2 sensor fit right in, no problem.
While in there, I would replace the studs and nuts that hold the turbos tot he exhaust manifold. If you're adventursome, you might try soldering the grounding connectors to their respective wires for better connection as these tend to corrode. There's probably more, but I'll have to collect my thoughts after I R&R my own. Might even start up this weekend!

Yeah, it took me a couple evenings to pull mine. I left the tranny in the car due to space considerations. For some stupid reason, I left the DP on as I pulled the engine. Dumb idea. Quite a fight. The only other fight was to pull the ECU harness. Gross. I unbolted the ABS mounting bracket to get some room, but ultimately just pulled REAL hard once the connectors were through.
