So I am wondering how many of us have replaced, repaired or have had to deal with a faulty DISA unit. Check off the answer that best suits you in the poll and post how much you've paid to have it fixed if applicable.
And I'll just leave this here for any that are interested:

I just ordered a new DISA and replaced mine. It was very easy to do
here's a video I referenced when I replaced mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhw6UpjhPXg

I replaced mine the day before I sold my car. It was rattling pretty bad. I paid $200 or so for it at the dealership.
My garage: 08' Alpine White 135i Coupe putting out 405 wHP to BOTH rear wheels. 05' LeMans Blue X5 4.8is that I like to call Truckmeat. Socketheads 05' Dinan tuned ZHP, and a few Hondas to keep it real.

I've taken mine out and examined it, but haven't repaired or replaced it. Very simple to do. What're the symptoms of a bad DISA?

I am pretty sure that mine is fine, but I'm thinking preventative maintenance down the road will be nice. I haven't inspected it since I installed it 10k miles ago when I swapped the B30 Manifold.
Ryan, It's pretty hard to tell audibly when your DISA is bad. You might be able to hear it rattling. Usually what I've read, is that the O-ring at the base of the flap will fail causing lean codes and when it is inspected, it's usually failed all together.

I did the repair kit, more so for strength against boost then maintenance.

I figured you would have altered yours, Nivo. Did you use the G.A.S. kit in the links above?
