Default You have it opposite of what's popular around here.

Technically it is okay if you install the way that you did, as they can be installed either direction and still work. But from the factory Audi installs them the other way.

You're probably okay with it like it is. However, if you notice any surging or if you feel that it is not functioning like it should (i.e. not dumping off pressure when you let off the throttle), install it the other way.

Default One more thing:

Even though Audi installs them opposite of how you installed it, many other car manufacturers install them the same way you did.
