Correct BOV orientation

I installed my Greddy bov about 6 months ago based on a how-to here on the forums. My question is, is it installed correctly? I have it install vertically with the bottom port down - side port pointing to 2o'clock and the adjustment on top as per the how-to(only one port with vaccum line attached). Now I did some searching on the forums and cant find which is correct because Ive seen it done both ways now. It does have a tendency to flutter or at least that what I think im hearing. Thanks in advance.

AFAIK, this is the correct way. I had the TypeS before and this is how I put mine in and it worked fine.

Ok this is opposite of how I currently have it so I will flip it and see what happens. Thanks

Man you've been running a bov backward for 6 months. Hope it didn't do any damage to your turbo!

The bottom should face the IC piping and the side port should recirculate back to the intake.
