I replace the water pump, t-stat, AOS, and oil cooler.

If the fuel injectors haven't been professionally cleaned and calibrated, now is the time to do so.

Flush the cooling system.

Inspect all of the vacuum lines and the AOS line that snakes across the top of the engine. Replace anything that looks or feels suspect.

New plugs, fuel filter, air filter, oil/oil filter, etc.

The car should be reliable for quite some time.

Thanks for the overview Tom! I have a new set of injectors from Bosch. I assume calibration should not be necessary?

Correct, new injectors should be ready for immediate installation!
