I leave mine in the stock position since boost pressure is less likely to push or hold open the DV. That being said: I don't see anything wrong with installing them that way at lower boost pressures.

Does anyone know the spring pressure of a 710N?

but I run them in the conventional orientation now. Mainly because I've been convinced that it is the best way, but also because I can get the bling CF engine cover on that way.

The OE way, it doesn't. __________________ 2002 S4 Avant, 6spd.

The OEM intake is in the side, the piston has to travel up, allowing the air to move down and out the bottom,,, it would seem as if they are fighting the piston in there oem position. or am I completely off on what's going on inside there....
