I received the new one and installed it this morning. I did need to partially remove the intake manifold but it wasn't so bad.
Disconnect: Intake bellow. Breather hose to head. Support brackets underneath manifold. Fuel rail wiring cover.
Remove manifold mounting bolts.
Lift manifold up and over VANOS solenoid towards the front.
With all the fuel and vacuum lines connected I still had plenty of room to remove and replace the blower.
Check to make sure the blower isn't rubbing on something before re-assembling and now have a nice river of fresh air!
The old blower was just worn out.
