Getting ready to install my Dinan TB, what else while I'm in there?

[JupiterBMW]

So I'e been looking online and trying to find the answer to my question... The hard part about getting ready to do something fairly involved in the car (that I haven't done before) is knowing what else I should be doing while I'm in there...

So, the main result is to install the Dinan TB... But, getting there will reveal a lot of other parts that might need replacement, or at least should be replaced while I'm in there...

So, what are those parts? The list I've compiled so far...

-upper and lower intake boots
-DISA (will do the GAS rebuild kit)

Help me grow this list... In return for your help, I will compile a master DIY as I do the job...

Might as well do CCV while you are at it, unless it's been done recently.

Try to get Stett boots, both upper & lower. With the Dinan TB and an aftermarket CAI, the OEM boots are just a tad too long and will kink which negates the smooth air flow you're after. The Stett boots are made such that you can easily trim them to get a perfect fit.

Is that a "while you're in there job" though?

Oh, buy a new $5 F connector for the upper boot and 4-5" of that small vacuum line that connects to the F connector, dealer should have both.

If I were messing with the TB purposely and the CCV/hoses/dipstick o-ring/ lower intake boot had not been done in the last 75k then I would say a definitive Yes.

Pretty much what they all said. F connector, boots, disa, etc.

Stett boots are hard to find.
