Did almost the same thing. Installed the Stett Performance boots and found out my DISA was bad so I installed the GAS rebuild as soon as I could. Then installed the BMW Performance intake.

Lower boot installed:

Snapped a hose on the f-connector when taking the upper boot back off to fix the DISA:

Attachment 20213

Luckily it was just a rubber connector and not the actual hose or f-connector that broke; easy fix.

My bell crank was extremely warn and the flap was completely disconnected from it:

Attachment 20214

Hard to tell against the black counter top, but you can see the whole top part of the bell crank was worn down compared to the new one.

Attachment 20215

Fully operational DISA, pictured without the new seal which was also replaced:

Attachment 20216

All buttoned up:

Attachment 20217

Attachment 20218

No more sputtering idle or SEL.

Nice man! I actually broke a piece off of my f connector and it wasn't salvageable but my buddy had an extra. Definitely got lucky!

Nice, how do you like the sound of the Gruppe? Seems a lot of people around here have been snatching them up. Are you planning to keep the BMW Performance Intake or sell it? (I'm asking for a friend...:shifty)

Also, Hermes...:drool

Yep. Very easy to pop out. I think 7 clips for each side (which are sold separately in case one breaks).

I'm loving it so far! I haven't decided what I want to do with the BMWP Intake. It'll be listed here first if I do decide to sell it though. :)

Nice to hear you like it. How does it sound over the BMWP Intake? And yes, I'll be watching for your for sale ad...
