I was wondering if anyone could clue me into getting multiple byte 
values out the uart
Ive tried a couple of different things:
int i = 0x4508
char *a= &i;
  U0TXBUF = a[0];
  U0TXBUF = a[1];


What's the problem? Either of those will do, as will other ways, e.g.

union { int i; char c[2] } thingy;

thingy.i = i;
...
U0TXBUF = thingy.c[0];
...
U0TXBUF = thingy.c[1];

But however you do it don't forget to check for the buffer empty before 
 sending the value...
