Took off turbo's what else to check?

I took off my turbo's for some R&R. I replaced my 2 coolant lines on the turbo's. The vaccum lines are still in good shape from a previous "hose job" Is there anything else I should look at?

after you let the car sit for a day or two, dry spin the motor with a wrench/breaker bar on the main pully bolt (turn it right, not left)-- if water comes out your exhaust ports, maybe its time for a rebuild even if u dont have the bad coolant seal symptoms, i didnt either, i realized i had a leaky coolant seal when i did this, so i rebuilt my engine around this time last year so my summer wouldnt end early next season.

I never heard that, that is a good idea! Ill look into doing that. So you turn it clockwise as you stand in front of the car.

On a side note Im going to port the waste gate also.

I'd go ahead and do new gaskets for the oil return lines while you have the turbos out. If it's been a while, maybe a new LIM gasket as well.
