Turbo engine out service questions

[sjbdeebo2]

I have a few weeks off of work and decided to remove my engine to weld or pin and JB weld my coolant pipes.
I am doing the
GT3 dipstick
coils and plugs. 
all the vacuum lines
fuel filter

I'm thinking about
a gt2 slave
rear main seal
intake plenum
clutch if needed (The transmission looks like it was recently replaced) Dealer didn't give me any records

I've done:
diverter valves
f and y rubber pipes
check valves
change over valves
venturi

2001 TT with around 73k

I'm looking for suggestions while the engine is out.

What are you folks using instead of 99611065172 and 99611065372 (the 2 rubber hoses that come off the venturi?
I found these: Sidewinder 1/2" 3/8" Molded Fuel Line Rubber Hose Elbow Universal 45 90 180 Curved on Amazon
I didn't take many pictures as I wasn't fun on the gravel driveway. I need to make some space in my shed tomorrow.

If you are looking for more power then a GT2 exhaust.

Otherwise most everything is covered.

Loren does the GT2 exhaust have any drone? I want a bit more sound but generally dislike aftermarket. (except Cargraphic in some models)

No - it sounds sweet.

[987_RDC]

Is this what the OEM GT2 996 exhaust looks like?

[Loren]

No.

Ok any other aftermarket besides RUF not have drone? (seems stock + GT2 do not either)

When you recommend the GT2 exhaust are you saying just the GT2 muffler and reuse the 996TT cats?
