 The door opens = at takeoff power as I see the light blink on (when the switch is set properl= y) for a second or three.

If the alternate air door is opening at full power, there are only two poss= ibilities:

1) The spring on the door is too weak (very unlikely).

2) The K&N filter is not adequate.  VERY likely, as I found the sa= me problem with my IO-550 in my Bonanza when I attempted to use the K&N = filter.

I have removed the K&N filter.

Buyer beware.
