Default Broken Timing Belt

I was driving friday night and my timing belt broke on my 2001 TT. Its a quattro turbo and this is extra frustrating because the manual says to change the belt at 120,000 miles and I am only at 77,000. It is also ironic because I was going to do the recommended 80,000 mile maintenance on saturday. I looked through the forum and now i notice that that information in the manual maintenance guide is wrong and that the belt can go as soon as 45,000 miles, man I wish I knew that a couple days ago!
I had my car towed home friday night and saturday I was able to remove the timing belt and the teeth where just popping right off the belt. I pulled the head and there are many broken valves! I am going to take the head in for a valve job, and I will be changing the following items while the engine is apart:
The timing belt, timing belt rollers, serpentine belt roller and belt, water pump, turbo manifold bolts, head bolts, all valve gaskets and seals.
Is there anything that I should also change or inspect while I have the engine apart? Anything else that I might have missed? This whole process is quite and ordeal and a process and I would appreciate any helpful advice!
I still am in shock that the recommended maintenance scheudule could be so wrong on when to change the timing belt!

Rebuild the head and smooth out the pistons. After that, your are fine. That is if the pistons didnt take a mad beating of course.
