But what about taking a cheapy dorman and putting the G.A.S. kit (and awesome gasket) on it from the start? That would come in around 220...still saving money and having better reliability than any OEM unit, I would expect.

The failures of the dorman unit seem to be completely offset with the G.A.S. kit. But you get new vacuum and all that as well.

Is there something else about the Dorman ($120 that I can find) that makes it fail/bad?
Gary credits your $85 towards a new DISA with the kit installed if your OEM one fails. I see no fault in your theory though, a Dorman DISA with the GAS kit installed should be great.
