You did the belt, but did you do the idler and tensioner pulleys?
Does the car have PCV#6 done? It might be worth dropping the oil pan to check for sludge. Switch to synthetic oil if it isn't running that already. Do you know if the DI has been done? How about the fuel pump? (it's probably not due yet).
Flushing the coolant and brake fluid would be good. Maybe change the tranny oil.
It's worth thinking about shocks and struts, but not for about a year.
If you have service records you'll know more, but the stock turbo is not noted for longevity.
