preventive maintenance

my turbo is really starting to accumulate miles and I'm wondering if there anything I should have checked/replaced/adjusted to ensure that my daily driver keeps running smoothly. I follow the regular maintenance schedule, but I've read there are some other common issues that occur on high mile cars such as coolant leaks, blown hoses, transmission, etc. Should I just stick with the regular maintenance or is there anything else I can do now that will prevent future problems? I've already upgraded the DVs, plugs and boost hoses.

- the coolant tank - mine was very yellow @ 30k miles
- fuel filter - a clogged one left me stranded & i had to tow @ 50k miles - it's very cheap to replace

all that's coming to mind right now...

Yep just cracked the coolant pipe at 34,000 miles.
MAF went out just before that.
Plugs changed recently going bad.
