Subject: IVP fresh air valve

I'm looking for a source for an air valve which can be opened or closed under ram air pressure and will withstand cabin pressurization when closed.
Let me first explain my application:
 
When I got the airplane, the previous owner had closed off the fresh air inlet on the vstab.  So instead I ran some scat tubing from the cowl inlet to a valve on the firewall.   The valve I have is a home brew device which is not working out very well.   Mainly it has trouble overcoming ram pressure when I need to close it.
 
Can anyone point me at a device or source for a device that might work in this application?
 
thanks,
 
Colyn
