Default K04 upgrade

I am in the process of upgrading my A6 2.7t to the K04 turbo and go stage three. I wanted to find out form the forum, other associated items of the turbo I should consider replacing, such as oil or coolant lines to the turbo, the turbo boost lines, etc. Should the original lines be ok, or should these or other items be basic maintenance when changing the turbo. My car has 75K miles. Should exhaust manifold gaskets be replaced with everything out?

I've not personally experienced this but from everything I read new oil lines are imperative since clogging of the old lines is a common problem. If you want to keep you shiny new turbos intact, I'd probably at least do that.
