Since the oil pan will be off, check out the oil pump with chain. Be certain to have a new vac pump on there. Crank the ALDA up (seems about one turn CCW worked well for me).

Rebuild the injectors. New glow plugs. Have the EGR removed. Hot tank the intake manifold to get the carbon build up out. Reseal the IP.

Consider rebuilding the turbocharger while it's easy to get to. Maybe a new head gasket if the miles are up there.
