the ss autogate works excellent. my only advice is open it up and make sure the 4 set screws inside are tight, run it a while and check it again after like a month.

Yes locktite them bastards!! I posted awhile back about those damn screws and it almost cost me an engine! Its a quality unit aside from that. Its pretty hard to mess up a CNC machined part. 15k miles since that episode and it has been rock solid.
