Works BOV Question

http://www.blowoffvalves.com
Click vehicle chart and it's at the bottom


I just installed my Works BOV and realized that I had reversed the installation.
Would it do any damage to my car? It did blowoff but not very noticable. Or would it be my stock air box, thats why it's not blowing off loud?

For those of you who have this valve or Works crew please look at pic and let me know if this is the proper way for the install!!! Thanks

Thanks

where is the pic of the install? ill provide a pic of mine at the bottom of this post so you can make reference to see if its the same as yours. as for damage being caused. i dont think it will cause damage. i have heard of stock valves being installed backwards at the factory.


this is a pic taken from the passenger side.

I did not attached a pic but if you goto the blowoffvalve.com web site and click on vehicle chart, then click the evo 8 pic and you will see a pic of the bov installed.
