turbo removal help?

Going to remove my turbo on my early 99 f350 to replace the up-pipe donuts. What else should I do while I have the turbo out. Is there a website where I can get the part number for the turbo o-ring's. Should I change the pedistal oring's at the same time. Is there any trick to installing the donuts on the up-pipes. I read one guy added high temp anti-sieze to the donuts before installing. Is this a good idea or not?

if you go to 7point3.com they have a link where it shows all the o-ring you need for the 7.3 engine. the link is on the right hand side... also i would've put a wicked wheel in as well since you will have you turbo out... helps to prevent/ minimize turbo surge

I bought the o-rings yesterday at the stealership, cost me $29 with my 20% discount. I'll be doing the WW, o-rings and boost boots today.
