My Autobahn Society 50 degree ABA block has a counter-flow 1.8L head
with digifant II. No separate idle stabilizer control circuit. Nor a
PS booster circuit as far as I can tell.. Runs great.

Only problem I've had with it is a gnarly dried out old o-ring on the
idle adjustment needle causing unstable idle and stalling. Chased my
tail for almost a year tracking that one down. I love it when the fix
is a 25 cent part.
