Change the Timing belt while its out, change thermostat(original Toyota is best).
ALso take a look at the hoses and change any that are looking weak.
If you have the time then check the clutch your putting in. Replace it with a new one if you can afford it as with most turbos i'm sure they have had a hard life.
Other than that i would run the engine in for the first 1,000km.
