what is this "reverse orientation" of the DV valve that I have been hearing about?

As said, stock is reversed.

With high boost, it tended not to stay closed, so they reversed the flow direction for TTs. Downside is that diaphragm now sees pressure even when valve is closed, so diaphragm life is reduced.

Sorry, if you still need them we can fax them right now or send you a copy via mail or email. :-)
Sometimes Forge doesn't package the DVR with them, we are now inspecting every box and adding the DVR directions if needed.
Let us know what we can do.

I'd install it both ways and see which works better for you
I have mine in the suggested reverse orientation and it works great very smooth and fast in comparison to piston DV. I had it in normal and was fluttering and would not re seat smoothly.
