VERY generic IAC valve?

I am in the midst of creating a very detailed "how to" document and custom parts package for owners of Deloreans to convert over to MS from the Bosch K-Jet system. I successfully converted mine using an alternate intake manifold, an LT1 throttle body and other customizations. I've come up with the necessary brackets, fuel hoses, injectors and rails to allow users to actually keep the car otherwise stock; increasing reliability and making it less of a "one off" job to do and learn each time.

My question is around IAC valves. Right now the solution is to simply use a Jeep-style four pin stepper that fits into a custom machined aluminum block that mounts on top of an air pipe that has a conveniently placed pair of holes into it (downstream of the butterflies of course, cast into the pipe). Machining the block isn't too hard, but it dawned on me that I ought to just explore whether or not anyone is familiar with a very generic IAC valve that could simply be bolted anywhere and with a hose to the air cleaner and to an adapter plate made to fit over the above mentioned holes. Basically just a hose barb in, hose barb out stepper IAC. Anyone know of such? If so, I'd love to have a model number or car that originally came with one so that I can hunt them down.

Thanks.

A lot of '90s era VWs used a 2 wire PWM IAC valve with hose barb fittings.
