Diverter Valve- anyone running it reversed?

Hi guys.

As title, any of you running it reversed? Forge say you CAN but they'd recommend running it the standard way.

I've even seen someone saying it was alot smoother with it reversed.

Any experience?

Yeah I did it once............................till the end of my street, at which point I got out and turned it back around. I couldn't tell you whether it felt smoother as it sounded so bad I couldn't possibly leave like that. It was like a high pitched shriek.

I might give it a ho for the hell of it, although I fail to see how it'll even work the otherway around!

I tried it and it does give a shriek but found no difference in power, although it fits under the engine cover better
