1.8 timing service - anything with it?

Hello,

I'm looking to get my timing belt serviced this month. I plan to get the kit from blauparts & also sa their valve cover cam chain tensioner gasket kit.

What I'm wondering is - is there anything else that I should address while this service is being completed? Headgasket? Or any other odds & ends?

Also, what about the turbo? I'm used to the simplicity of my first & retired audi C4 A6 - This is my first turbo car & I was told by my mech that the turbo is leaking a bit of oil - nothing dramatic - but I'm wondering if it would be wise to have them replace the turbo while the timing belt is being serviced?

Thoughts? I want to address anything I can proactively so as to not have any unexpected incidents.

Thanks!

Thanks!
