I've snapped many, many in the past. It looks like a fun project actually. I'm not sure what you can upgrade while you are in there but just insure that your wastegate is functioning properly. YOu can get a 3 inch downpipe I suppose, but that will set you back about $250.
put a new ehaust to turbo gasket in maybe, and most definately a new manifold gasket. Order a new set of studs and bolts from a vendor for the head. Might not be critical bu makes the job really quick, as fighting to remove frozen nuts from a removed stud is a waste of time ;-)
good luck
