When you're talking about "better than the autotech one" I am assuming
you're talking about fueling characteristics..?

I can't really speak to what would be better since I haven't even put the
autotech module on my car yet. But really, unless you have lots of
specialized equipment, the only way you're going to find out what's better
is through educated guessing (trial & error on a dyno).

As far as being weather tight, getting a project box with a gasket of some
type would be a good first step. A dessicant bag thrown in there couldn't
hurt. But as I said before, replacing the relay with FETs is the best
approach. I'll look in to it when I get a chance.
