The gate valve is exactly how it works....except the factory set up uses engine heat to open or close it...

good ida that,except that as mentioned above you could find a proper one on ebay for $2,whereas hardware shop prices are around $10.

I wouldn't worry unduly about it. To set it up right,get the engine hot,and with the aid of an assistant,put the car in drive with the engine IDLING ,turn on the air,then turn the large plastic screw slowly until idle sits at 650 rpm. It will idle fast in park ,without the air but who drives a car in park?.
To convert back to stock you need to find both the airslide and a control module,if it's missing from the car. I see them on US ebay quite often. But be aware that you must get the correct parts for your car.right hand drive and left hand drive cars have entirely different parts.
