I installed my bov backward

I recently bought a greddy RS bov AND I think I installed it backwards like in the second pic. Will it do damage to my turbo or engine?

PS: picture w/ JDM DV shown

some people do that at the track because it holds boost better, but isnt the greatest for your car by any means.

I seriously doubt you've damaged your car.

I second that; i'm sure no damage was done to your car from running the BOV backwards. Enjoy your newly properly installed BOV
